Viral drawing aside, Kentucky's Coleton Price wants play to be his art
Kentucky's Coleton Price recently went viral for a drawing of a former UK logo. But while he has artistic ability in spades, football is his passion.
LEXINGTON — Kentucky football team showcased a video of a drawing challenge on July 30, revealing Coleton Price, a fifth-year senior transfer and projected starting center, skillfully drawing the team's logo on glass with a black marker. The video garnered over 670,000 views on X in just a few days. Price, who transferred to Kentucky from Baylor, downplayed his artistic talent, stating that he drew the logo as a simple exercise and not to impress.
He prefers discussing football, hunting, fishing, and the cattle industry. Price earned a spot on the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the nation's best center. Coach Will Stein praised Price's preparation, mentality, physicality, athleticism, and consistency, calling him a professional. Quarterback Kenny Minchey, who transferred from Notre Dame, noted Price's veteran-like qualities and their strong bond, essential for a successful offensive unit.
