Jeremy Jarmon
UK has released a statement from Rich Brooks on Jeremy Jarmon being ruled ineligible:
“My first concern is with Jeremy and his family and what a devastating blow this is for them. There was no intent by Jeremy to do anything improper, it was an error in judgment in not checking with our staff (before taking the supplement). Jeremy has been an outstanding individual on and off the football field, and I hope that people understand the class act he has has been.”
Why was the press conference held today? Because Jarmon said he wanted to address the situation publicly, and explain his actions. Apologize and explain. He is also leaving for France next week to study abroad as he works toward a second major. Jarmon has already earned a degree in political science.
I feel for this guy. Such a shame. I’m sure he’s going to have fun in France. Still, with the excitement for UK Football this season, this really, really has to hurt.
I certainly hurt for Jeremy. I hope he realizes how much the Wildcat fans have enjoyed watching him play and appreciate his outstanding contribution. I wish him the best of luck and hope to see him return to the program someday as a coach!
