Statement regarding dismissed linebacker Ebele Okakpu: “We dismissed Ebele Okakpu for conduct detrimental to the team. Ebele will remain on scholarship and he does have a chance to graduate in the spring, so we want to give him the opportunity to continue his education and hopefully graduate in the spring. We wish him well in that.” Can you give any more details on Okakpu? “Nope. Conduct detrimental to the team.”
