"Jerome Junior, Safety - Junior was an impact player for UConn, leading the team in tackles as a junior. He was dismissed from the team prior to Spring 2012. Junior will have one year of eligibility left at WSSU. "

Forgot about him...anyone know why he was dismissed (without being ultra specific)?

 

[Duncan Idaho]

He gave up too many 3rd and 18s

They didn't say the impact was positive.

Happy for him.. Finish out strong young man... We all make mistakes but then we get back up again and keep moving forward.

I think it was discussed here when it happened.

issues with new coaching staff. They were not as high on him as previous staff. I dont think he had any other issues re: Cody although I am not sure about academics but obviously he got into another school and is eligible.

There were other issues:

Coach P in February 2012 - “Yeah, the message is that we have program policies, we have a very, very high level of expectation of our players in many areas and one of those areas is behavior – whether it be on campus, off campus, in the meeting room, on the practice field, at the game we’re not going to accept anything but appropriate behavior,” Pasqualoni said. “It was a violation, for me, it was a violation of what’s expected here in the football program and we can’t accept it.”

Hope he learned whatever lesson was needed and lights it up @ WSSU.

If I remember correctly he got in to a fight on campus and that was the final straw. Wish him all the best at WSSU.

good for Jerome Junior ... and good for Marcus Campbell. Degrees and a FULL college football experience.

Wasn't it Junior who played the Pitt kickoff returner, rather than the ball, allowing Robbie Frey to recover the fumble that was as big a play as any in our win over Pitt leading up to the Fiesta Bowl?

Good luck to the young man.

I'd rather remember the safety blitz against South Carolina.
