LEXINGTON, Ky. — One thousand and nine days passed between E.J. Price appearances in a football game.

And the offensive lineman faced plenty of adversity during the two years, nine months and five days separating Archer High School's playoff-ending loss in late November 2015 and the University of Kentucky's season opener last weekend.

"It was a little bit of a bumpy road, and sometimes I didn't represent myself the best way possible," said Price, a native of Lawrenceville, Georgia and a former USA TODAY All-State first team recruit.
