Edgar Poe’s starting WR brother leaving Army football team

Guess you can say he’ll play for the service academy, nevermore.

According to Sal Interdonato of HudsonValley.com, Christian Poe is no longer on the Army football team. No reason was given for the unexpected and abrupt departure.

Exiting the spring, Poe was one of the Black Knights’ two starting wide receivers.

Last season as a sophomore, Poe started two of the games in which he played. His 10 receptions for 133 yards were both second on the Black Knights.

Army’s leading receiver in 2016? Edgar Poe, Christian’s brother, who as a senior had 16 receptions for 336 yards as well as three of the Black Knights’ seven touchdown receptions on the season. The Poe brothers also accounted for nearly half of the decidedly run-heavy football team’s 54 receptions.
