ASU dismisses 2 redshirt freshmen

Mar. 30, 2005 12:00 AM <!--______START TEXT OF STORY________-->

Arizona State offensive linemen Jonathan Lehmann and Brent Russum, redshirt freshmen, were dismissed from the program Tuesday for violation of team rules.

Initial searches of ASU and other police departments did not produce reports on the players. ASU head coach Dirk Koetter said the dismissals are unrelated to the Loren Wade shooting incident.

Lehmann, 6 feet 4, 285 pounds, is from Giddings, Texas. Russum, 6-5, 275, is from Lewiston, Idaho. Lehmann was injured and not participating in spring practice. <!-- BOXAD TABLE -->

Their departures leave Bradis McGriff and Leo Talavou as the remaining offensive linemen from the 2004 recruiting class.

Spring practice resumes Friday with no announcement yet whether it will be re-opened to the public and media.


Here's a laundry list of other incident-related news items today:

Iowa State
Head coach Dan McCarney has dismissed three players from the team: sophomore DT Nick Davidson, sophomore RB/KR Tyease Thompson, and senior DB Jerry Gair; Davidson had been listed as a top backup on the pre-spring depth chart, whereas Thompson was expected to be the starting kick-returner … Senior DE Cephus Johnson has been reinstated to participate in spring practices

California
Sophomore projected starting WR Robert Jordan and redshirt freshman DB Bernard Hicks will miss time next fall due to each player’s arrest during a traffic stop in February; Jordan has been suspended for the season-opener versus Sacramento State, whereas Hicks will miss the first three games

Florida
Sophomore Taurean Charles, who had been suspended indefinitely since last summer for his involvement in the keg-throwing incident, has been permanently dismissed from the football team; Charles will remain on scholarship through May

Hard to imagine that ESPN has time to report anything else the way they're on the witch hun on these other schools.

Oh wait...

Central MeatChicken player charged with contempt:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200....ap/index.html

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) -- A third Central Michigan football player has been charged with criminal contempt on accusations he lied during testimony in a case involving the beating death of a 26-year-old man.

Jerry Seymour, a first-team Mid-American Conference running back, was arrested Wednesday in a weight-training room at Central Michigan's athletic complex, police said.

Two of Seymour's former teammates who have graduated or are expected to graduate in May have been convicted of criminal contempt.
Seymour is accused of lying during grand jury testimony about his movements outside the Shaboom Pub Club in Mount Pleasant. Demarcus Graham, of Flint, was beaten into a coma outside the bar on June 25 and later died.

Seymour, a 20-year-old sophomore from Florida, faces a contempt hearing on April 7. He was held in the county jail on $10,000 bond.

Seymour has been suspended from the team.

"I have said from day one that anyone charged in connection to the Demarcus Graham case will be suspended," Central Michigan football coach Brian Kelly told CM Life. "He's been suspended and we clearly are moving on."

Seymour ran for 1,284 yards last season and had 47 receptions for 413 yards. He rushed for 1,117 yards in nine games as a freshman.

The two players convicted of criminal contempt are former linebacker Jonathan Nelson of Chicago and former cornerback Richard Kiel of Detroit.

Two other students also have served 30-day jail sentences for contempt since grand jury proceedings began last fall.

It's amazing that Richard Kiel from Detroit had any eligibility left:
