Here is his bio from last year

2008: Named to the Missouri Valley Conference's All-Newcomer team ... led the team with 32 receptions for 502 yards ... rushed the ball seven times for 26 yards, including a season-long of 13 yards ... returned 12 punts for 110 yards ... returned five kicks for 112 yards ... ranked fourth on the team with 750 all-purpose yards ... began his Panther career with a bang as he caught a 76-yard touchdown pass from Victor Williams against Brigham Young (8/30) ... caught three passes for 114 yards and a score vs. the Cougars at Lavell Edwards Stadium ... caught a 62-yard pass in a 31-17 victory over Illinois State (10/11) ... returned four punts for 56 yards, including a season-long 29-yard return in a 28-0 victory at Indiana State (11/15) ... gained 120 all-purpose yards (50 receiving, 53 kick returns, 17 punt returns) in a 36-34 victory over New Hampshire in the FCS quarterfinals ... caught a season-high six passes for 46 yards in the FCS semifinals vs. Richmond.

A couple of suspensions....and now this...

Get the feeling UNI is really going to have to tighten up the chin straps a little more to have a chance at making the post season...

The suspended ones will come back....this one truly suxs...

Rumor has it UNI's President Ben Allan is going to force the team to drug test, if you fail you get suspended and lose your scholly.


Could be a long year at UNI after such high, no pun intended, hopes.

That's what I had heard from a UNI Police Officer.

No offense to that police officer, but that sounds like a bunch of BS to me. A. I dont see how that is even possible for him to do, and B. That would bring more embarassment/public humiliation and attention than there is in the first place. That would big a HUGE mistake, and would ruin the program.

So are you admitting there are a bunch of drug users on the UNI team or are you embarassed for implimenting a drug testing policy? What's wrong with that? Kids are tested in high schools, why not a public university where other people are paying for you to go to college for free?


Sucks for the injury loss, if UNI is a good program, they should have plenty of talent in waiting. Maybe not number one receiver quality, but someone to get the job done.

Um, there are a bunch of pot smokers on EVERY football team. It would embarass the University much much more than a few guys getting busted, simply by doing such a thing.

Since when do they drug test in HS? I played HS football and never took any sort of test.

I know virginia does, every athlete is subjected to "random" testing. I know everybody on our team was "randomly" tested during the season. Don't smoke up during the season, simple enough. You risk embarassing your team anyway.

I know every D3 school in the IIAC is subject to random testing, but how random it was I'm not sure.

Did you hear this from a janitor at Wartburg?

Nope, I know it from being tested
