BATON ROUGE – Nose guard Travonte Valentine has been dismissed from the LSU football team for violating team rules, head coach Ed Orgeron announced on Thursday.
Valentine, a sophomore from Hialeah, Florida, played in the first five games of the season for the Tigers, recording a total of 10 tackles. Valentine did not play in LSU’s final seven games.
“At this point in time, Travonte is no longer part of our football program,” Orgeron said. “We wish him the best.”
