Just days after being arrested for suspected theft, Elijah Daniel has been asked to leave the Auburn football program. Auburn announced the latest roster decision Saturday.
As previously reported, Daniel was one of three suspects in a theft investigation on campus. Daniel and two other former Auburn athletes -- DeNorris James and Khalil Sellers -- were the primary suspects in an on-campus theft investigation following various incidents over Auburn’s spring break. Daniel was charged with four counts of theft of property and four counts of burglary. Between the eight charges, six are considered felonies.
Daniel played in 13 games for the Tigers last fall, and he started in two of them.
