Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood suspended star wideout Leonte Carroo Sunday for “an incident that occurred outside the stadium” after the Scarlet Knights’ loss to Washington State, but refused to comment further. On Monday, we found out why.
Carroo has been charged with simple assault for a domestic violence incident, as reported by Keith Sargeant of NJ.com.
Carroo’s suspension is indefinite, and he seems highly unlikely to play against Penn State on Saturday night. “I don’t anticipate any change in status as of right now,’' Flood told the site, “and it would be hard for me to answer the (question about Carroo’s dismissal) until I had more details just because it’s a hypothetical right now.’'
The wide receiver was previously suspended for the first half of the season opener for missing curfew, and over the weekend became the seventh Knight arrested in the past 11 days.
Carroo placed second in the Big Ten a year ago with 1,086 receiving yards and posted seven grabs for 181 yards with three touchdowns this season.
