Penn State redshirt senior tight end Brent Wilkerson has been dismissed from the team due to a violation of team rules, the program announced today. Wilkerson had been suspended indefinitely since mid-March after an arrest for indecent assault and harassment. According to reports that emerged not long after the suspension was announced, Wilkerson admitted to the assault after questioning by police. The details were disturbing, and while Wilkerson admitted that he was in the wrong, it never seemed likely that he would return for his final year of eligibility.
