Talented OL E.J. Price returning to Kentucky practices
The Kentucky Wildcats were thrilled last year when former USC OL E.J. Price decided to transfer to the program.
However, after sitting out all of 2017, it was reported a few days ago that Price was leaving the Wildcats, too.
Now, though, it appears he’s had a change of heart, as coach Mark Stoops said on Saturday that Price was back with the team. He added that Price didn’t handle whatever he was going through in a great way, but he is again on the practice field:

Keeping Price on the field will be key for the Wildcats, especially since teaming him with star RB Benny Snell Jr. will make Kentucky’s rushing attack a formidable one.
Though it seems as if there may be some confusion and tension between Price and the coaching staff, he’s practicing with the team again and has a very real chance of earning a starting spot this fall.
