Oregon State dismisses WR Datrin Guyton
Oregon State has dismissed a promising young receiver from its program.
The school announced earlier this week that redshirt freshman Datrin Guyton is no longer with the program due to a “violation of athletic department and team rules.” Beavers head coach Gary Andersen provided no specifics during his weekly press conference.
“I wish it wasn’t this way, but it is that way,” Andersen said per The Oregonian. “I’m excited for his future when he decides where he wants to go, and I’m here to help him. I’m not excited that he’s not with us. He is a good kid. It is what it is.
“That’s really what I have to say on it, other than the fact that I am going to help him get to his next spot, because I think he can be successful. Kids make mistakes. That’s where we’re at.”
The 6-foot-5, 182-pound Guyton was third on the team with 14 catches for 178 yards this season. He made three starts on the season and had back-to-back four-catch performances against Colorado and Utah in October. He did not have a catch in the Beavers’ loss to UCLA over the weekend.
With the UCLA loss, Oregon State is now 2-7 (0-6 Pac-12) on the season heading into Saturday’s at Cal.
