The Kentucky Wildcats are taking a big hit on defense for their matchup with the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Senior linebacker Jordan Jones is unlikely to play in the Citrus Bowl, according to KSR. The report also states that it is not a discipline issue for Jones, so perhaps it has something to do with academics or an NCAA violation.
Last year, Denzil Ware was suspended from Kentucky’s Music City Bowl matchup with Northwestern due to an NCAA violation, so this will be the second-straight year they lose a key defender in their bowl game.
