PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (AP) -Texas receiver Brandon Collins, who was academically ineligible this season, has been kicked off the team following his arrest.
Longhorns coach Mack Brown announced the decision Sunday, a day after Collins was arrested in the Austin suburb of Pflugerville (FLEW’-ger-ville).
Pflugerville police Assistant Chief Jim McLean confirmed the arrest but had no further details.
Collins was declared academically ineligible by the NCAA because of insufficient progress toward his degree.
The junior was in good academic standing at Texas and allowed to continue practicing. He didn’t make the trip to the BCS championship game in Pasadena, Calif.
No. 2 Texas plays top-ranked Alabama at the Rose Bowl on Thursday night.
