Kentucky punter Matt Panton will not play in the Vanderbilt game on Saturday, Mark Stoops said at his weekly Monday news conference.
“He will not participate for failure to meet the expectations of this football team,” Stoops said.
Panton, a 23-year-old graduate transfer from Australia, was arrested and charged with public intoxication on Saturday night after the loss to Ole Miss. He was booked into the Lexington jail after 1:30 a.m. Sunday, according to jail records.
He was arrested by Lexington Police near the corners of South Upper and Bolivar streets. Panton’s arrest citation was not immediately available nor were any other details surrounding his arrest.
