Jeremiah Masoli kicked off team
Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli has been kicked off the team after news of a recent arrest, the school announced Wednesday.
The school said Masoli was dismissed "for a failure to adhere to obligations previously outlined by head football coach Chip Kelly."
Masoli was already suspended for the 2010 season after pleading guilty to burglary charges in connection with a January case. He was arrested Monday night on multiple charges after a traffic stop.
Initial reports say the traffic stop led to charges of possession of marijuana, driving with a suspended license and failure to stop at a driveway or a sidewalk, according to the Oregonian.
The Oregon athletic quarterback did not return calls from the Oregonian on Wednesday.
Masoli led the Ducks to the Pac-10 championship in 2009. He quarterbacked Oregon in the Rose Bowl, a 26-17 loss to Ohio State. He completed 177 of 305 passes for 15 touchdowns and six interceptions on the season and rushed for 668 yards and 13 scores.
