Dennis Andrews no longer on team

Georgia Tech A-back Dennis Andrews has been dismissed from the team for a violation of team rules, coach Paul Johnson said Tuesday. The dismissal occurred Monday. Johnson, who was speaking at the Peach State Pigskin Preview in Macon, did not specify the violation. Andrews was suspended two games at the start of last season for violating the school’s conduct policy for student-athletes.

As one of two A-backs returning with significant experience, Andrews was expected to be a member of the A-back rotation. However, without him, Tech’s only returnee at the position who has played extensively is Broderick Snoddy, who is coming back from a broken leg suffered last season.

On the depth chart released after spring practice, Snoddy and walk-on Isiah Willis were listed at the No. 1 A-backs, with redshirt freshmen Clinton Lynch and Qua Searcy behind them. Andrews was noteworthy for his absence among the top four.
