In the aftermath of Kentucky's lackluster 24-16 win over Toledo, Head Coach Mark Stoops dropped a bombshell: Jamarion Wilcox, the team's leading rusher from the 2024 season, was suspended for the game due to a violation of team rules.

Stoops was brief, stating he would reveal more information "when he can," leaving Big Blue Nation with more questions than answers about a player who was expected to be a key piece of the offense.
