Three lesser-known members of last year’s “Dream Team” signing class at the University of Georgia were dismissed from the program Friday morning.
Receiver Sanford Seay and cornerbacks Nick Marshall and Chris Sanders were informed of their departures in a meeting with coach Mark Richt. Georgia only cited a violation of team rules, but it was discovered recently that Seay had stolen money from another student in his dormitory.
Marshall has been linked with Seay and the theft, but it is unknown whether Sanders was involved as well.
“It’s a privilege to play college football and to be a part of this team and university,” Richt said. “Along with that privilege comes certain responsibilities. Mistakes were made, and part of our job is helping them learn from mistakes.
“Going forward, we are committed to assisting them find opportunities where they can continue their education.”
