Offensive Lineman Dismissed From Commodore Squad

Offensive lineman Steven Brent has been dismissed from the Vanderbilt football team, Commodore Head Coach Bobby Johnson said late Thursday.

Brent, a junior from Georgetown, Texas, who started the first four games of the 2003 season, was dismissed for violating team academic rules, Johnson said. The coach did not elaborate on the decision.

Commodore players will return to campus August 10 in preparation for the first preseason practice on August 11. Vanderbilt opens the 2004 season at home against Southeastern Conference East Division foe South Carolina on Saturday, Sept. 4.  Kickoff is 11:30 a.m. CT.
