The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has dismissed junior receiver Terrell Robinson, sophomore running back Kenny Huitt and redshirt freshman longsnapper Will Sharpton from the football team for violation of athletic department policy.

According to Mocs coach Russ Huesman, Robinson is the only one of those three to ask for a release so that he can transfer, adding that Huitt and Sharpton are staying at UTC for at least this semester.

“We dismissed three players for violation of athletic department policy,” Huesman said. “Those three are Terrell Robinson, Kenny Huitt and Will Sharpton, and that’s basically all I can say.

“I can say I care about everyone on our football team, and we never want to lose any of them.”

Robinson’s dismissal ends a roller coaster career with the Mocs that saw flashes of on-field brilliance but off-the-field issues. The former Mr. Football award winner from South Pittsburg High began his headline-grabbing career by earning Southern Conference freshman of the year honors when he started the final five games of the 2011 season at quarterback, combining for 11 rushing and passing touchdowns.
