Senior wide receiver Damarlo Belcher was dismissed from the IU football team for a violation of team rules, according to a release from IU Athletics.
Belcher ends his Hoosier career with 189 receptions, leaving him second to James Hardy's 191 catches for the most in school history. Belcher led the Big Ten in receptions last season with 78 for 832 yards and four touchdowns.
The senior from Fort Wayne leads the Hoosiers in receptions this season with 25, even though injuries have limited him to playing in six of the team's nine games. He suffered a bone bruise in his knee in the third game of the season against South Carolina State.
With his 25 receptions, Belcher has amassed 286 receiving yards this season with one touchdown - a 67-yard grab against Ball State in the first game of the season. Sophomore Kofi Hughes has played in all nine games and is second on the team with 20 receptions.
Belcher served a one-game suspension Saturday, missing IU's 59-38 loss to Northwestern. Sophomore Duwyce Wilson is also likely out for a large portion of the season with a knee injury after missing time due to injury this season as well.
