Following the Iowa State spring football game head coach Paul Rhoads announce the dismissal of defensive tackle David Irving from the football team. Irving faces three charges from the Ames Police Department for his part in a riot near campus on Tuesday Night.  Pictures recently surfaced of Irving carrying a stop sign during the incident.

Rhoads stated during his press conference that “It’s a privilege and an honor to be a part of this football program and represent Iowa State football, Iowa State athletics and Iowa State University,” Rhoads said. “David Irving has exhausted that privilege to represent this football program by not meeting the expectations that we’ve laid out for him.”

The dismissal came after it was announced Friday that Irving was suspended indefinitely.  Irving was also arrested in mid-November of 2013 on a domestic assault charge that was later dropped.  He started 8 of the 10 games he played in last season.
