Mark Stoops threw defensive tackle Deone Walker out of scrimmage for being too good

Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops says he had to remove defensive tackle Deone Walker from a scrimmage over the weekend because the offense couldn’t get a play off.

“There’s big Deone over there,” Stoops pointed out during his post-scrimmage media availability. “Look Deone, I had to throw you out of the scrimmage today so we could get a play off.”

Expectations are high for Walker this season after contributing 40 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble last season.
