Iowa State freshmen football players suspended for “poor choices”

AMES, IOWA – Four Iowa State freshmen football players have been suspended for “poor choices,” the team announced today.

“Four freshmen – Tayvonn Kyle, Jaeveyon Morton, Joseph Scates and Dallas Taylor-Cortez – have been suspended indefinitely from our football team for multiple incidents of poor choices and behavior,” head coach Matt Cambell said. “We have worked diligently to develop a culture of accountability in our program and these young men have failed to live up to those expectations.

“The players will not have any involvement with team activities nor access to our facilities while suspended. They will, however, have access to our academic facilities with the accompanying expectations of any student-athlete in our program.

“I would emphasize that these suspensions are not related to any one incident but rather a pattern of conduct that will not be tolerated within our Iowa State football program.”

Iowa State opens the season September 1 against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits.
