Thompson quits football team, Slusher returns

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas is gaining a defensive player for this weekend’s game against No. 14 Ole Miss, and has lost an offensive piece for the season.

Sam Pittman on Wednesday’s SEC coaches teleconference said defensive back Myles Slusher will be available against the Rebels following a one-game suspension. He was arrested Nov. 6 in connection to disorderly conduct.

“I have cut the suspension off of Slusher, so he has practiced this week also,” Pittman said.

Slusher, in five games this season, has 20 tackles, 4 tackles for loss and 2 sacks.

Pittman announced wide receiver Warren Thompson has quit the team.
