For the third time in just over two weeks, a member of the Wisconsin football team has been suspended for violating the University of Wisconsin's Student-Athlete Discipline Policy.
Freshman running back P.J. Hill, who redshirted this past season, is immediately suspended from competition and practice, the program announced Monday. Hill will have the option of appealing the decision to continue competition.
The latest violation comes shortly after freshman defensive backs Antonio Freeman and Jameson Davis were arrested in Jefferson County after deputies pulled them over for speeding and then found marijuana in the car.
State troopers pulled over the car driven by Davis, which was clocked at 101 miles per hour, and arrested both players after finding the marijuana.
With the early departure of Brian Calhoun to the NFL and head coach Bret Bielema's decision to dismiss junior Booker Stanley (arrested on charges of sexual assault, battery and bail jumping) from the team Thursday, Hill was expected to make a legitimate run for playing time next season and possibly emerge as the starting tailback after spring practices.
