Kentucky Wildcat News: Coleton Price carrying his brother’s memory at UK

September 8, 2026 · Yahoo Sports

Good morning BBN!

The Kentucky Wildcats are getting geared up for a huge date with Alabama at Kroger Field on Saturday, as Will Stein and his squad look to move to 2-0 on the young season. To pull that off, they will need some big games from several key players, including starting center Coleton Price.

Price comes to Lexington after four seasons playing for the Baylor Bears. With plenty of big-game experience, he will have to help lead this offense and help Kenny Minchey spy coverages and potential blitzes to pick up the win.

We also got a little sneak peek into Price as he drew the UK Wildcat logo this offseason. Now, Tyler Thompson of KSR has given us another story about the starting center for the Cats. This time, it’s showing how he pays tribute to his late brother, Colby, while wearing the blue and white, and how the loss helped lead Colton to reunite with his future wife.

One of the cool things about the transfer portal has been the stories we get to learn about each new player that comes to play for Kentucky each season. This is just another great example, and a way for the BBN to connect to one of the teams leaders in this first season of the Stein era.
