As NFL teams are busy adding former college football players, one program at this level is busy turning one of its current players into a former one.
Earlier today, 247Sports.com reported that Kamonte Carter had been dismissed from the Nittany Lions for violating unspecified team rules. A short while later, the football program confirmed the development.
And, according to the school, the redshirt freshman defensive tackle was on the receiving end of James Franklin‘s boot more than a week ago.
“Kam Carter was informed on April 21 that he is no longer a member of the Penn State football team for a violation of team rules,” the university said in a statement. “We appreciate Kam’s contributions to the program and wish him success in the future.”
Carter was a four-star member of the Nittany Lions’ 2015 recruiting class, rated as the No. 5 player at any position in the state of Maryland and the No. 238 player overall in 247Sports.com‘s composite rankings. The 6-4, 305-pound lineman took a redshirt as a true freshman.
The Centre Daily Times writes that Carter “was expected to see some time in the defensive line rotation this fall as a backup.”
