Xavier Peters and Mark Stoops speak on impending eligibility ruling by NCAA

Former Florida State linebacker Xavier Peters made the transfer from the Seminoles to the Kentucky Wildcats earlier this year, marking a huge pickup for the Kentucky program.

However, Peters is still unsure if he’ll be immediately eligible to play this season.

Peters spoke at UK Media Day, saying “It’s pretty difficult but it was worth it coming back for my son. I just turned in my letter yesterday, so hopefully I can get my results back from the NCAA two weeks from now.”

Peters is still practicing at full-speed however, preparing for the first game against Toledo as if he will be eligible.
