Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi announced Friday he has dismissed starting defensive end Rori Blair for "conduct detrimental to the program," while also issuing suspensions to starting safety Jordan Whitehead, starting offensive lineman Alex Bookser and linebacker Quintin Wirginis.
Whitehead and Wirginis were suspended for the first three games of the season for violating team rules. Bookser was suspended for the season opener against Youngstown State after an offseason DUI arrest.
"Our program's foundation will always be built on discipline and personal responsibility," Narduzzi said in a statement.
