A star defensive end for Kentucky, and one of the key players in Kentucky's Liberty Bowl victory over East Carolina, Jarmon has lost eligibility to play college athletics as a result of testing positive for a banned substance by the NCAA.
Ironically, Jarmon earned praise for his performance in a student production of the play “Weak/Side/Help” on Kentucky’s campus last April. Jarmon excelled in his role as a backup quarterback who experimented with steroid use in an attempt to climb the depth chart.
Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart first spoke at the approximately 25 minute press conference and announced the news. He acknowledged the unusual nature of the press conference, but said that Jarmon requested an opportunity to speak, and the University granted that opportunity due to all that Jarmon had contributed to UK.
