Kentucky cornerback leaves program

Kentucky’s secondary took another hit Thursday when Coach Joker Phillips announced the departure of cornerback Jerrell Priester.

The 5-foot-9 sophomore from Ulmer, S.C., opted to leave the program.

“We wish him well,” Phillips said after practice. “It’s one of those things that’s kind of common at this time of the year, that kids leave. We’ll wish him well and keep this thing going.”

Priester, who was rated the No. 17 prospect out of South Carolina and the nation’s No. 59 all-purpose athlete, according to Rivals.com, played in nine games last season.
