University of Tennessee at Chattanooga defensive back Dee Virgin and receiver Ke’Von Hall have been dismissed from the football program, the university confirmed Tuesday.
Virgin, who would be a senior in the 2016 season, and Hall, a redshirt freshman, were booted for a violation of team rules.
Coach Russ Huesman confirmed the dismissals while he was participating in the Porky’s Open fundraising golf tournament Tuesday, but he offered no further comment.
Virgin was arrested for theft of property over $500 on campus. According to the arrest report, a female student reported on April 27 that her MacBook Air Tablet was missing. Police reviewed surveillance video, which led them to question Virgin.
He initially denied taking the tablet but later confessed and returned it to police. He was released on $1,500 bond and his court date is set for May 16.
