University of Kentucky QB Drew Barker was punched hard and knocked to the ground in a brutal sucker punch attack in the lobby of a university dorm, and the attacker was a former UK player.

It all went down on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University on January 25th after 3 UK players got into a bar fight with a member of the EKU football team earlier that night and left him severely injured.

19-year-old Barker and some of his teammates went over to the EKU dorm where EKU lineman Patrick Graffree entered the dorm, took off his shirt and clocked Barker in the side of the head.  He reportedly got knocked out as revenge.

BTW, 21-year-old Graffree (6’4″, 295 lbs) played for UK before transferring over to EKU.

Police investigated the incident but no one was prosecuted.

Also good to know, Kentucky plays Eastern Kentucky in October.
