Coach Dave Wannstedt announced in a news release that freshman safety Jeff Knox has been dismissed from the team, stemming from an off-campus incident last night.
Wannstedt did not provide further details about the incident in the release.
In his first year at Pitt after being recruited out of DeMatha Catholic in Maryland, Knox did not appear in any of the team’s first two games.
Knox is now the fifth Panther football player to be disciplined for off the field activity since July.
Defensive end Jabaal Sheard was reinstated to the team last month after he arrested for an incident in the South Side this summer. Running back Jason Douglas is currently on suspension after he was arrested earlier this month and charged with driving under the influence. Middle linebacker Dan Mason was demoted to second team, after police said he was in the car with Douglas during an accident. Mason has not been charged with a crime.
Offensive lineman Keith Coleman is also currently on suspension. Police charged him with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.
