One of Colorado’s top young players is no longer with the Buffaloes.
A CU spokesperson confirmed to BuffZone.com on Wednesday that sophomore safety Hasaan Hypolite has been dismissed from the football team for a violation of team rules.
A 5-foot-11, 210-pounder from Fresno, Texas, Hypolite was part of a wide-open competition at safety this spring and seemed to be on track for a starting role next season.
“I think he’s going to be one of our better players in the fall,” head coach Mel Tucker said last month following a practice.
Hypolite was dismissed from the team late last week, however, and was not in uniform for Saturday’s spring game. Hypolite’s dismissal stemmed from an internal violation of team rules and did not involve legal matters, according to CU.
