“As of today, there are some young men who are no longer part of our football program. Our team discipline is handled internally, so I am not going to mention specific names. We will ensure these individuals have ongoing access to academic and health services as we continue to support them in those areas,” Heupel said.
This comes less than a week after a UCF defensive back was arrested.
