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.

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.
