Redshirt freshman running back Dontae Aycock has been dismissed from Auburn’s football team due to an undisclosed violation of team rules, the school said Friday.
A native of Tampa, Fla., Aycock redshirted in 2009 but was expected to play a role behind starter Mario Fannin this season.
His departure will leave a clear path to playing time for incoming freshman back Michael Dyer, one of the nation’s most highly regarded recruits.
Aycock was an all-state player and the most prolific runner in the Tampa Bay region during his senior year.
