Cornett dismissed by team, University

Wide receiver Caleb Cornett is no longer with the IU football team and has been dismissed from the University, IU Coach Kevin Wilson said Tuesday.

Cornett, 21, was suspended from the team for his involvement in an altercation in late August on Kirkwood Avenue.

The incident was classified as a “mutual physical confrontation” by IU Police Department officials after it occurred.

The Indiana Daily Student reported in August that officers saw Cornett punch a man in the face, knocking the other man unconscious.

Cornett was previously put on probation after pleading guilty to a December 2013 reckless driving charge.

The Indianapolis native has not appeared in any games this season. He played in 11 games in the previous season, primarily on special teams.
