Mississippi State

Two Mississippi State football players have been kicked off the team after their arrest on campus. Starting left tackle Michael Brown and backup defensive tackle Quinton Wesley are pending a campus judicial hearing. The incident is reported to have involved handguns.

Police have charged Brown with possession of a firearm and Wesley with aggravated assault, both felonies. It’s against state law to carry a firearm onto campus.

MSU officials released this information Friday, a day before the annual spring scrimmage game held each year during Super Bulldog Weekend. Head coach Sylvester Croom had no comment and won’t until he knows more about the incident.
