Leslie Stirrups Dismissed

Senior defensive tackle, Leslie Stirrups, has been dismissed from the USF football team, according to Coach Holtz, for not adhering to team rules, the actual cause is not known exactly.

The 6'3" 275 senior has had a rough career at USF, rated as a 4 star recruit coming in, he was arrested while working as a valet as Tampa International Airport and stealing a camera. He was a backup last year playing in nine games and racking up nine tackles. He was listed as the third string defensive lineman behind McCaskill.

The defensive line at the moment has at least a 12 man rotation, something Holtz sees as the strength of his defensive and what he is building around so the loss of Stirrups is not a major one but shows that Holtz and staff will not tolerate any kind of adverse behavior around the program. They dismissed running back Mike Ford earlier this year due to similar reasons.
