Kentucky senior defensive end Jeremy Jarmon has been kicked off the team after testing positive for a banned substance. Jarmon's error seemed like an honest mistake.

However, now that his college football career is over, it is highly likely Jarmon will be in the supplemental draft, held sometime late in the summer. Since 1977, just 38 players have been selected.

No players were selected in last year's draft. In 2007, the Chargers used a fourth-round pick on Georgia cornerback Paul Oliver. Baltimore used a fifth-round pick on Maryland offensive tackle Jared Gaither. The selection of Gaither was an excellent one as he could be the Ravens' starting left tackle this year. Find every supplemental pick here.

Jarmon should have somewhere between a fifth- and seventh-round grade. He's 6-foot-3, 280 pounds. In 2007, he was a first-team all-conference performer finishing with 62 tackles, including 13.5 tackles for loss and nine sacks. Last season he had 38 tackles, including 10 for loss and 4.5 sacks.

Right now, I had Jarmon as my 15th best defensive end (rankings coming soon). If you take out 3-4 outside linebacker tweeners, I have Jarmon as the 10th best defensive end.

Starting UK defensive end Jeremy Jarmon has tested positive for a banned substance in a random NCAA drug test, ending his career at UK.

In a press conference Saturday morning, Jarmon, who had considered entering the NFL draft this season before deciding to return for his senior year, said he was suspended for a year by the NCAA after the positive test of the undisclosed substance. Jarmon had less than a year of eligibility left.

Jarmon, a 6-foot-3, 280 pounder, says the substance came from an over-the-counter dietary supplement, and that he was unaware the substance was part of the supplement, which he said he used without the knowledge of the UK training staff.

Jarmon said he tested positive for the banned substance on February 24, but then tested negative to similar test six weeks later. He said he appealed the suspension after the negative test, but was denied by the NCAA on Thursday.

"My first concern is with Jeremy and his family and what a devastating blow this is for them," said UK head coach Rich Brooks said. "There was no intent by Jeremy to do anything improper, it was an error in judgment in not checking with our staff (before taking the supplement). Jeremy has been an outstanding individual on and off the football field, and I hope that people understand what a class act he has been."

Jarmon played in 38 games during the last three seasons, including 31 starts. He made 38 tackles as a junior, including 10 for loss and 4.5 quarterback sacks, along with six pass breakups. He was named second-team All-Southeastern Conference by Phil Steele's College Football. In 2007, he was first-team All-SEC by Rivals.com and second-team All-SEC by the league coaches when he had 62 tackles, including 13.5 TFL and nine sacks. He has 17.5 sacks in his career, third in school history.

Jarmon has completed his degree in political science and is studying abroad this summer as he works toward a second major.

Some of the NCAA rules are so stupid. If USC, Texas, Florida, Notre Dame or someone like this does something it would take forever to decide on it's fate, but hey it's only Kentucky, who by the way has won three straight bowl games

The NCAA needs some serious updating and needs to re-examine their rules, or at least apply them fairly. Any major program would have it swept under the rug.... just look at Reggie Bush and USC.

Reggie Bush tested positive for a banned substance and was suspended?

Irony is getting kicked off your team for taking illegal supplements and then having to apply for the supplemental draft.
