IU football roster updated for fall

Senior cornerback Antonio Marshall has been dismissed from the IU football team and signees Taj Williams and Maurice Swain will not play for IU this year after failing to meet academic requirements, the team announced in a release Thursday.

Marshall was released due to a violation of team rules. It was not specified what that violation was.

Marshall played at Georgia Military Junior College in 2011 before coming to Bloomington last season. He started the final seven games at cornerback for the Hoosiers last season and appeared in 11 games, recording 38 tackles and two interceptions.

Williams, a 6-feet 4-inch Tallahassee, Fla., native, was a four-star wide receiver according to rivals.com.

Swain was a three-star defensive lineman from Georgia, also according to rivals.com.

Both Williams and Swain failed to meet the academic requirements to enroll at IU.

Three-star signee running back Daryl Chestnut is expected to join the team sometime during camp as he finishes his academic requirements, but will not be on the field as the team starts practice Friday, according to the release. He is currently listed on the 105-man roster.

The roster is comprised of 80 scholarship players and 25 walk-ons this preseason.

“We have a good group coming back combined with a strong recruiting class and a solid walk-on program,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said in the release. “This is the healthiest we have been during my time in Bloomington.”
