UK coach Mark Stoops looks ahead to December recruiting and bowl game Jon Hale/The C-J
LEXINGTON, Ky. – When recruiters stop by Pima Community College in Arizona for a look at former DeSales High School star Bryant Pirtle, coach Jim Monaco makes sure to share at least one story.
Pirtle, who signed with Western Kentucky as a senior at DeSales in 2015 but did not qualify, started his collegiate career at East Mississippi Community College. When he felt like he was being forced to sit behind less talented players from bigger name schools, Pirtle decided he needed to reevaluate his options.
