USF Won't Have Right Guard Huners For Bowl Game
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: December 18, 2008
TAMPA - University of South Florida starting right guard Matt Huners has been ruled academically ineligible and will not play in Saturday's St. Petersburg Bowl against Memphis.
Huners graduated in the spring of 2008 and did not meet the requirements this fall in his postgraduate work.
A senior, Huners started all 12 games this season and 25 in his career. He has graded out as USF's best lineman the past two seasons. At last weekend's team banquet, Huners received the Coaches Award for "recognition of the player who makes a substantive yet recognized contribution; a person whose bravery is unknown or unacknowledged."
Without Huners, the Bulls' starting offensive line this week has been tackles Jacob Sims and Marc Diles, guards Zach Hermann and Ryan Schmidt and center Jake Griffin.
