Off-season woes continue

Junior running back Greg Coleman and freshman defensive back Durrell Williams were suspended indefinitely from the ISU football team Thursday, said coach Dan McCarney in a press release.

Coleman and Williams were arrested Wednesday in connection with an assault at Club Element, 2401 Chamberlain St., early Sunday morning.

“We have a prescribed system related to the conduct of all members of our football program and we will abide by that process,” McCarney said in the release. “I reserve the right to take additional disciplinary action when the legal process has taken its course in this incident.

“Every player on our football team knows that they will be held accountable for their behavior off the field. All those involved in this one incident are no exception.”

These suspensions come in addition to former ISU defensive end Jason Berryman’s dismissal from the team on Tuesday. Berryman was cited at Element for being a minor on the premises, but was not involved in the alleged assault. Freshman quarterback Brice Beck was also suspended for the Cyclones first game of the season against Toledo for receiving an OWI.

McCarney said the suspensions are consistent with the ISU Student Athlete Code of Conduct.

ISU media relations and McCarney were not available for immediate comment.
