PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Rutgers has dismissed the five football players who were suspended earlier this week following their arrests. One was charged in two home invasions and four others were charged with assaulting a group of people in New Brunswick in April.
All five— Nadir Barnwell, Dre Boggs, Razohnn Gross, Ruhann Peele and Delon Stephenson — are no longer part of the football program, the school announced just before kickoff against Norfolk State on Saturday.
The dismissals cap a turbulent preseason for the Scarlet Knights and coach Kyle Flood, who was also previously involved in an academic impropriety investigation involving Barnwell.
