Pittman surprised by Slusher's decision to leave team

Junior defensive back Myles Slusher left Arkansas’ football team the day after the Razorbacks’ victory over Ole Miss last week, coach Sam Pittman said Friday.

“He came in and we visited on Sunday,” Pittman said following a 29-27 loss at Missouri, "and then Sunday evening he quit the team.”

Asked if Slusher’s decision surprised him, Pittman said, “Yeah.”

A reporter followed up and asked Pittman how disappointed it was that Slusher left the team.

“That’s it,” Pittman said. “I don’t want to talk about that anymore.”

Slusher’s decision to leave the team came two weeks after he and teammates Anthony Brown were arrested Nov.
