Five players leave UNC football program

Former prized recruit Jamal Womble is one of five players leaving the North Carolina football program, a school spokesman confirmed Monday.

Womble, a four-star running back from Arizona, has decided to transfer as has receiver Rashad Mason. Tight end Randy White left the program, linebacker Hawatha Bell was dismissed and tight end Vince Jacobs will graduate in May and leave the program.

Womble, a redshirt freshman, ran for 41 yards on six carries before breaking his right wrist in the sixth game. Womble cited academic problems, on his Facebook page, as the reason for leaving UNC.

Reserves Mason, a sophomore; White, a redshirt freshman; and Jacobs, a junior; did not register a statistic this season.

Bell, a freshman linebacker from Charlotte, was suspended for the bowl game and ultimately dismissed from the team. -- J.P. Giglio

It never ceases to amaze me how kids waste the opportunity of a free education.

Oh well, hopefully they all succeed wherever they end up.

UNC didn't really want any of those guys anyways.

What is the tally on all these kids BD turns away at the end of each year?

its not about the "tally" of how many he turns away, its about how many wanna be there? Ultimately these kids want playing time or don't wanna go class, whatever the reasons may be. If you don't think this goes on at every school you're wrong. Assuming your a State fan, word is out in a few days TOB plans to let a few go too. So spare me the "let go" argument. This is all on the kids.

Assumptions are termites to the brain. "every school" doesn't rid itself of 10 players a year.

Geaux TIGERS! See ya in Cajun country HEEL.

Don't get playing time at UNC = starting for Catawba football. One minute your players are gonna be Top 10 world beaters...the next, they aren't worthy enough to play. Which is it? The flip flopping is intimidating to the fish in Lake Norman.

hey cajun, you do realize the game is in Atlanta not Baton Rouge? I'd hardly call the ATL, "cajun country". And you root for an SEC school and don't think your teams "make way" for better players each year? you're fooling yourself pal. the SEC invented football factories. Of course it is true you guys never kick kids off teams for academics, as they don't matter in the $EC.

With ~60th ranked recruiting class at this time, what better players are UNC and Butch making way for?

Once again, mostly idiotic comments on this recruiting board here. You people need to educate yourselves on this topic before you post...

I see the LSU fan can't count. Can't say that I'm surprised. Five is half of ten.

The football offices in Chapel Hill are in disarray. Butch Davis' program is crumbling before our eyes. This is NOT the Carolina way!

Well, it's safe to say you're not a State nor Carolina graduate.

Go figure Giglio gets his facts wrong. This has been reported from Womble's facebook page:

"The Situation: MY Grades were very Low this semester causing me to be ineligible for the spring, i was not granted probabtion therefore i can not come to school during the spring. I was NOT kicked off the team and the coaches and I have decided i will go to a JUCO, get my grades in order and come back to UNC for the spring 2011 semester....sorry for not being specific earlier See More"

I don't really consider this a transfer as he is looking forward to returning for 2011. Hopefully it will work out for this guy.

The program is crumbling before Coach Davis' eyes. A clubbing by LSU would be our third loss in a row. Unacceptable!!! What is happening???

A clubbing... Nah, the only clubbing that happens to UNC is when we go to SUITE.
