Taggart Announces USF Roster Changes

Senior defensive backs Mark Joyce and JaQuez Jenkins dismissed from program

TAMPA, Dec. 3, 2013 – University of South Florida head coach Willie Taggart today announced the dismissal of senior defensive backs Mark Joyce and JaQuez Jenkins from the USF football program for a violation of team rules.

“It’s disappointing they both are seniors. We’re talking about seniors, not freshmen,†Taggart, in his first season leading the USF program, said. “We’re trying to change a culture in our entire football program to one that is total commitment to the football team and winning. There are consequences that come with anything that counters that. Those consequences will be paid. There’s no one individual who is bigger than this football team.

“They’ve done a lot for our football program. Unfortunately, they made a mistake. They’ve got to deal with their mistake.â€

Joyce and Jenkins both were suspended prior to the UCF game and did not play in that contest. Both players are on schedule to graduate in December.

Joyce started 22 career games, including 10 this season, and played in 47. He is the Bulls second leading tackler with 53 stops this season and has two interceptions. Jenkins started 15 career games, five this season, and played in 39. He logged 24 tackles on the season.

USF (2-9; 2-5 AAC) will complete the 2013 season Saturday with a 7:30 p.m. kick at Rutgers (5-6; 2-5 AAC).

 

They couldn't wait to do this until after UCF?

 

Why would he?

Is he going tell the young guys on the team that the rules are only enforced AFTER a game? The message, I think, is way more important than any game.

 

 

There lies the difference between the Alabama's and the USF's of college football.

 

 

Our secondary probably had it's best game all year without them...

This message is also about personal responsibility and representation of your school. Good or bad, you're accountable for your actions--love it!

Yup. Arm "tackles" and whiffing trying to going for the big hit didn't get the secondary very far.

From what i heard that both got caught smoking pot by hotel security at the team hotel in Orlando prior to the UCF game.

Now we know what we really were during Skippys days. We should have changed our names to USF Rastafarians.

 

Jenkins: "Hey J-Rock (Joyce) you got the slot receiver?

Joyce: "Nah man I am just enjoying the Ray Jay Lights"

Jenkins: "Sweet."

If true, yeah, that'd do it. I'll admit a little curiosity at the reason since it was severe so late in the season, but this would explain it. Kids...
