AUBURN, Ala. – Cornerback Harry Adams has been dismissed from the football team for an unspecified violation of team rules, an Auburn spokesman confirmed today.Adams, a 6-foot, 183-pound sophomore from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was a backup who played in all seven games this year. He made six tackles, four of those coming on special teams.
He twice made position switches in the last year, moving from cornerback to wide receiver in the spring before moving back to cornerback following Aairon Savage’s Achilles’ injury over the summer.
Adams’ departure leaves the Tigers with three scholarship players who are full-time cornerbacks: Walt McFadden, Neiko Thorpe and Demond Washington.
Redshirt freshman T’Sharvan Bell and sophomore D’Antoine Hood, a former Central-Phenix standout, are also options. Both have worked at safety and cornerback in their careers.

Nice reporting Andy. The daily links are a cornucopia of CFB interest.
Too bad about Harry. I felt that the kid had promise.
AU had few dismissals until this past year. Is that coincidence?... a clash of personalities with the new staff?, or stricter standards?
Ugh. Even less depth on D now.
@Hoopie: Supposedly, the players who were dismissed earlier were troublemakers; i.e., they had bad attitudes.
Personally, I like the fact that the coaching staff isn't going to keep players who might divide the team, regardless of talent or depth issues. It might cost them games this year though.
