GEORGIA SOUTHERN: Three players have been dismissed from the team after being arrested Friday on various charges during a Brad Paisley concert at Paulson Stadium in Statesboro.
Kevin Van Kirk, Ben Granitz and Matt Duke were connected to car burglaries in the stadium parking lot, according to John Miles, a university police investigator.
"With the information we have pertaining to Friday night's incident, Matt Duke, Kevin Van Kirk and Ben Granitz forfeited the privilege to be a part of the Georgia Southern football program, but naturally we're going to help them become good citizens in their future endeavors," coach Chris Hatcher said in a statement.
Chase DeCarlo, a fourth player, was arrested for attempting to elude a police officer with Granitz and Duke in his truck. Hatcher didn't address DeCarlo's future with the team.
