MISSOULA, Mont. — Montana coach Mick Delaney has announced the suspension of three football players for violating team rules.
Holt is a freshman from Seattle, Kanongata’a is a junior from Bellevue, Wash., and Oiland is a junior from Spokane, Wash., who played at UNLV as a freshman.
Meanwhile, Montana offensive tackle Trevor Poole was arrested on a felony drug charge over the weekend.
The university’s student-athlete code of conduct calls for the sophomore from Spokane, Wash., to be suspended indefinitely and if convicted of a felony, to be dismissed from the team.
Missoula County jail records show Poole was booked into jail early Sunday on suspicion of criminal possession of dangerous drugs. His bail is listed at $50,000 and he is scheduled to make an initial appearance in Justice Court on Monday afternoon.
Montana athletic director Kent Haslam told the Missoulian that Poole was arrested at a large party several hours after Montana’s 70-24 win over Idaho State.
