Seven UF football players were involved in a May 28 confrontation on campus with a local gambler and his friends. Two Gators brandished BB guns resembling assault rifles, according to a campus police report.
The group of players, including senior tight end C’yontai Lewis, top receiver Tyrie Cleveland and incoming freshman quarterback Emory Jones, were not charged following a UFPD investigation. Police referred the matter to the Dean of Students Office, according to a statement from UF.
Coach Dan Mullen said was made aware of the incident and immediately began to follow campus protocol. In such matters, this includes education and undergoing a student code of conduct review that potentially could impact a player’s role on the team.
