Marshall DB Boogie Trotter has indeed been removed from the roster after appearing on there as of Tuesday evening. He led the team in tackles (74) and interceptions (5) last season. Wrote yesterday about his status for Penn State game being unclear: https://t.co/Auyufl1u0w

The Herd Scoop

Boogie Trotter has been removed from the @HerdFB roster. The preliminary injunction hearing that was held today, denied the opportunity for Boogie Trotter to be eligible this season. Floyd Lacey was also denied another season of eligibility.
