Kentucky LB Alex Afari out vs. South Carolina following court ruling
Kentucky linebacker Alex Afari won't play against South Carolina. After a court ruling was overturned, he is ineligible to play.
Alex Afari, the linebacker for the Kentucky Wildcats, will miss the team's upcoming game against South Carolina following a court ruling. Afari had received a fifth year of eligibility through a temporary restraining order in Jefferson Circuit Court last month. However, that order was overturned by the Kentucky Court of Appeals on October 2, rendering Afari and others involved ineligible to play.
He was listed as out on the SEC's final availability report on October 3, ahead of the Wildcats' game against the Gamecocks. Despite not logging any individual statistics in his first two games this fall, Afari had his best performance of the season in a September 26 victory over South Alabama, where he recorded a team-high nine tackles in a 45-21 win.
