Auburn boots WR Davis off squad

Auburn wide receiver Kyle Davis has been dismissed for violation of team rules, coach Gus Malzahn told reporters on Tuesday.

Davis, a sophomore, did not travel with the team to Saturday’s game against LSU. Malzahn did not disclose the reason for Davis’ absence to reporters after LSU posted a 27-23 victory.

“Kyle Davis has been dismissed from our team for breaking team rules,” Malzahn said Tuesday. “We wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

Davis has reeled in seven receptions for 210 yards this season. The 6-foot-3, 213-pounder had 12 catches for 248 yards and two touchdowns during his freshman campaign.
