Auburn Football: Will Tigers Really Miss WR D'haquille "Duke" Williams?

The roller-coaster career of Auburn wide receiver D'haquille "Duke" Williams has come to an end.

The 6'2", 224-pounder was dismissed from the Auburn program late Monday night, according to a release emailed by Auburn.

"When individuals fail to meet the expectations of our program, there has to be consequences," head coach Gus Malzahn said in a statement emailed by Auburn. "I gave D'haquille the chance to prove himself. I am disappointed that it did not work out."

Williams was suspended for Auburn's Outback Bowl matchup against Wisconsin following last season, and again for a week during fall camp for an unspecified violation of team rules.
