Missouri WR Maurice Massey Dismissed from Team After Domestic Violence Arrest

Missouri receiver Maurice Massey was dismissed from the football team following an arrest Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

He was arrested by the Boone County Sheriff Department on suspicion of third-degree domestic assault, fourth-degree assault and first-degree property damage.

"Maurice Massey has been dismissed from the Mizzou Football program for a violation of team rules," the school said in a statement. "Since electing to opt out of the 2020 football season due to COVID-19 last month, he has not been involved in any of our practices or team activities."

Massey redshirted last season in his first year with the Tigers, appearing in four games without recording a catch.
