HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall football coach Doc Holliday has dismissed three freshmen players from the team.
Holliday says the players haven’t lived up to the high expectations of a Marshall football player. Holliday didn’t cite any specific incident for the dismissals Wednesday, the day fall practice began for the Thundering Herd.
Dismissed were defensive tackle Mike Fleurizard, running back Antwon Chisholm and wide receiver Fred Pickett. All three are from Florida.
Cabell County Magistrate Court records show Fleurizard was charged with robbery stemming from an incident Saturday. Fleurizard was held on $50,000 bond Wednesday at the Western Regional Jail. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 13.
Earlier this year Holliday dismissed defensive backs DeQuan Bembry and T.J. Drakeford from the team.
