Kentucky player leaves practice, rips coaches on social media, says he’s ‘stepping away’ from team | Lexington Herald Leader

A Kentucky offensive lineman took to social media to announce that he’s stepping away from UK football and to blast his coaches after an apparent problem at practice on Thursday morning.

E.J. Price, an offensive tackle from Lawrenceville, Ga., by way of Southern Cal, was seen leaving before practice ended Thursday and then posted on Twitter a string of beefs with the UK staff.

“I am stepping away from @UKFootball,” he tweeted at 9:43 a.m. just before practice ended. “This is completely my decision. I have great grades right now and look forward to continuing my academic career if possible.
