The 2023 season will mark the 100th anniversary of one of the darkest moments in the history of Kentucky football. Price McLean, a player for the Wildcats, died after being kicked in the head during a game against Cincinnati in 1923. Although the injury was initially thought to be minor, McLean died the following day. His death shocked the community and led to a debate about the safety of college football. Some called for the elimination of the sport, while others argued that it was important for developing young men’s physical strength. McLean was remembered fondly around the program for decades. The Wildcats played at Stoll Field, later known as McLean Stadium, until the 1972 season before moving to Commonwealth Stadium, now called Kroger Field. While McLean Stadium has since been renamed, McLean’s memory lives on as a reminder of the risks involved in the sport and the dedication of those who play it.
