Saturday’s season opener at Kidd Brewer Stadium will feature a team without star wide receiver Corey Sutton. Sutton, junior, was charged with marijuana possession following a traffic stop in Boone on July 7.
Before transferring to App State in 2018, Sutton allegedly failed two drug tests at Kansas State, which led to his scholarship being revoked, according to an ABCNews.com story.
The Charlotte native played his freshman year, 2016, with the Wildcats and caught four passes for 54 yards in 11 games.
