Defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao has been dismissed from the LSU football team, the university announced Monday.

Lealaimatafao, who last year notably nearly lost his arm after punching through a window, was arrested earlier this month following a fight in the parking lot of a bar in Baton Rouge.

"Trey is no longer a member of our football team," head coach Les Miles said. "We have gathered information on this incident and we feel it's best for us to part ways."

A redshirt freshman, Lealaimatafao came to Baton Rouge as a four-star member of the 2014 recruiting class.
