Just days after a loss on the field to rival Florida State, the Miami Hurricanes have lost one of their prized recruits from the 2016 class after he was kicked off the team.
Sam Bruce, a wide receiver who signed with Miami after a star studded prep career at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, was dismissed from the Hurricanes football program Monday.
The school issued a statement saying it was "based on multiple violations of team rules and a failure on his part to meet the clear expectations established to be a part of the Miami football program."
Bruce was a four star recruit of new head coach Mark Richt, but has missed every game this season while he recovers from what was reported to be a broken leg suffered during a basketball game.
His career at St. Thomas Aquinas was cut short when he was kicked out of school after pictures surfaced of Bruce allegedly holding a gun.
The Hurricane return to the field this Saturday for another ACC contest against the North Carolina Tar Heels, with kickoff at 3:30 p.m.
