ray233 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 JONESBORO, Ark. -- Arkansas State cornerback Paul Stephens has been dismissed from the team. Stephens was hospitalized over the weekend with a gunshot wound to his midsection. A man told police that he shot an intruder trying to break into an apartment. Arkansas State announced Stephens' dismissal from the Red Wolves on Monday night, saying it was for "conduct detrimental to the team." Defensive back Leroy Trahan and wide receiver Jarriel Norman were also dismissed from the team for detrimental conduct. The school did not elaborate on those infractions. LINK From a personal/reality perspective, this is very unfortunate for these young men. They are paying dearly for poor decisions in their young lives. From a football perspective, this is a big hit to the depth of their team, with two of these players (Norman & Stephens) being Seniors. Quote Link to comment

Stephens was a senior who had only recorded 10 tackles as a junior and one pick. Trahan had two tackles as a sophmore, Norman in three years had caught 15 passes. Not exactly big contributors to the team. Quote Link to comment
