On the field, UK defensive end Jeremy Jarmon is the key to the defensive line much like a lead actor in a movie or play.
Now, the two roles Jarmon has always played–football player and thespian–are combining.
As released by UK Athletics today, Jarmon is the lead actor in the newest play to hit UK’s campus, Weak/Side/Help. The play concerns performance-enhancing drugs and race in sports. According to Jarmon, it’s no different than lining up for the first play of a game.
“It’s exactly the same,” Jarmon said of the anticipation of both events. “You’re anxious before a play and before a game. Then, after you say that first line or have the first play (in a game), everything is fine.”
The news also arrives with Jarmon officially joining spring practice for the first time. Jarmon had been sidelined by off-season knee surgery. Jarmon had warmed up and ran off to the side during Saturday’s first scrimmage.
