Washington State cornerback Brandon Jones has been dismissed from team after reported DUI
Cornerback from O'Dea kicked off squad after violating team rules
Brandon Jones, a Washington State cornerback from O'Dea High, has been dismissed from the Cougars for a violation of team rules, a WSU spokesman confirmed Tuesday.
Jones was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Saturday morning near the WSU campus. The Spokane Spokesman-Review said Jones, a starter as a junior in 2009 for the Cougars, was arrested in a domestic dispute Nov. 30 but no charges were filed and the case was dropped in December by the Whitman County prosecutor's office.
Jones started his collegiate career at Cal before transferring to WSU. He sat out the 2008 season.
He started 11 games for the Cougars in 2009, missing the Apple Cup with the lingering effects of a back injury.
Also, the Cougars signed Xavier Cooper, a 6-foot-4, 265-pound defensive end from Tacoma's Wilson High.
"Xavier will bring a level of athleticism to our defensive line," coach Paul Wulff said. "He has a great deal of potential and as he develops in the weight room, he is going to help us on the defensive line."
