Houston dismisses son of Vince Wilfork after felony drug possession charge

Houston has dismissed D’Aundre Holmes-Wilfork after the 19-year-old was arrested on charges of felony drug possession, the program announced Tuesday.

Holmes-Wilfork is the son of Houston Texans defensive lineman Vince Wilfork.

He was arrested just after midnight Dec. 21 after he was found allegedly in possession of 381 grams of codeine at a traffic stop in nearby Friendswood, Texas, according to the Houston Chronicle.

“We are aware of the situation and D’Aundre is no longer a part of the Houston Football program,” the program announced in a statement.

That decision was an easy one for new head coach Major Applewhite as Holmes-Wilfork, a walk-on, was listed on Houston’s roster but did not appear in a game.
