Mark Stoops is still waiting for the NCAA to make a decision on Xavier Peters

Less than a week before the 2019 Kentucky football season kicks off at Kroger Field, Mark Stoops still does not know if Florida State transfer Xavier Peters will be eligible to play for UK this fall.

He’s out until someone tells me different,” Stoops said in his first weekly press conference. “There’s a lot of things that we had to get in order as well, information we had to get from Florida State. They have to do part, so it takes some time.”

A high school All-American, Peters was a consensus four-star recruit when the Cincinnati native signed to play football at Florida State.
