Penn State cornerback dismissed following drug arrest

Penn State cornerback Da'Quan Davis has been dismissed from the program following a May 9 arrest on drug and underage drinking charges, head coach James Franklin announced Wednesday.

"Da'Quan Davis is no longer a member of the Penn State football team due to a violation of team rules," Franklin said in a statement, according to Joe Juliano and Erin McCarthy of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We appreciate Da'Quan's contributions to the program and wish him success in the future."

Davis was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana for personal use and use/possession of drug paraphernalia. Both are misdemeanors. He was also cited for purchasing alcohol as a minor.

Davis will be a senior in the fall. He played in 24 games over three seasons for the Nittany Lions.
