No Grimes


Roster mysteries solved

The absence of some high-profile UNLV players during the first two games was something of a mystery, as Arroyo chose not to reveal the roster status of players such as Randal Grimes, the team’s leader in touchdown catches last year. But on Tuesday the coach confirmed that Grimes has been suspended for the year due to a violation of team and school rules.

Arroyo did not elaborate on the suspension.

“He is suspended for the calendar year,” he said. “The terms of that remain in house.”

Arroyo also confirmed that senior receiver Mekhi Stevenson, senior safety Drew Tejchman, senior safety Greg Francis and junior fullback Jamaal Neal have opted out of the season due to COVID-19 concerns. As per NCAA rules, those players will not lose a year of eligibility and can return to the team next year, if they so choose.
