Meant — a 6-foot-4, 302-pound native of Florida — left the team in early August. According to head coach Mike Stoops (per the Courier-Journal), Meant’s initial departure had “nothing to do with football, nothing to do with us or playing or anything like that. It has to do with himself. I ask you to just leave that and respect him.”
Last year as a sophomore, Meant accrued 31 tackles and one sack. Meant’s projected backups — Adrian Middleton, Tymere Dubose, Alvonte Bell, Kengera Daniel — combined for only 10 tackles in 2015.
No surprise on Meant news. Never any indication he was coming back after leaving early in camp.

Middleton appears likely to fill Meant’s vacant spot next to fellow defensive tackle starter Courtney Miggins.
