CORVALLIS —
Oregon State wide receiver Datrin Guyton has been dismissed from the program, the school announced Monday morning.
Guyton, a redshirt freshman who tallied 14 catches for 178 yards in eight games, was dismissed for "violation of athletic department and team rules as it relates to the expectations of a student-athlete," according to the school's news release.
Coach Gary Andersen did not provide many more details about the dismissal during his Monday press conference, other than stressing that he would help Guyton find his next playing destination.
"I wish it wasn't this way, but it is that way," Andersen said. "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's just, 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."
Guyton had started three games, including Saturday's 41-0 loss to No. 23 UCLA. But he had also run into behavioral issues at points throughout the season. He was moved to the scout team for a week following the Beavers' loss at Michigan in early September and was seen arguing with a referee in the first half of the UCLA game after a Bruins defender was not called for pass interference on a deep ball intended for Guyton.
In Guyton's absence, receivers like Hunter Jarmon (14 catches, 157 yards, one touchdown; recently came off an injury), Paul Lucas (two catches, eight yards, 19 rushing yards), Rahmel Dockery (two catches, 15 yards) and Xavier Hawkins (two catches, nine yards) could see more action.
OSU is currently 2-7 and 0-6 in Pac-12 play heading into Saturday's contest at California.
