Kyrin Priester faces ‘tall order’ to play for WSU in 2017

A couple of months ago, Mike Leach gave WSU fans a lot of hope when he confirmed that wide receiver Kyrin Priester was back with the team.

Not so fast.

In a teleconference with reporters in advance of the beginning of spring practices, Leach revealed that Priester will only be an intermittent participant while continuing to focus on his academics, which appear to be the main potential barrier to him getting on the field this fall.

“He has to get his academics squared away,” Leach said, adding it’s going to be a “tall order” for that to happen in time for September.
