The Kicking Colquitts, a multi-generational line of Tennessee men who've applied their shoe leather to pigskin for the past few decades, unfortunately must add a DUI to their impressive kicking records. Senior punter Britton Colquitt -- the last of the kicking Colquitts, for now anyway -- pleaded guilty on Monday to drunken driving.The incident which led to the charges actually happened back in February, but the trial was postponed until July 7. The sentence? 24 hours of picking up litter, and the loss of his license for one year. Oh, and tack on a suspended sentence of 11+ months in jail, a $350 fine, court costs, a 24-hour detention in jail, and DUI school.
Being that he's a Kicking Colquitt, if you asked the young man, he'd probably say the most severe penalty came from his head coach. Colquitt lost his football scholarship for 2008 and will sit out the Vols' first five games of the season.
Colquitt's an All-SEC punter, and putting him in the stands doesn't help a team which is working the kinks out of a new quarterback and new offense. If I were a betting man, I'd say Tennessee might have to punt a few times this season. Colquitt booted 50+ yard punts in 6 games last year. It'll be tough to match that playing in only seven games in '08.
