Syracuse wide receiver Mike Williams quits team
Syracuse wide receiver Mike Williams has quit the team.
Williams, one of the top receivers in the country, told coach Doug Marrone on Monday morning of his decision.
Williams, who did not play last year because of academic problems, was suspended for Syracuse's game against Akron nine days ago for violating team policy.
He ranks sixth nationally with 106.57 receiving yards per game and his seven receptions per game ties for 14th in the country. Both top the Big East Conference. He also had 20 touchdown catches in his career, tied for second all-time at Syracuse with Marvin
Harrison.
Marrone said he did not know if Williams had also left school and the university was unable to confirm that.
