Description:

Wisconsin’s running back room was a little less packed Tuesday afternoon.

Coach Paul Chryst announced that freshman Loyal Crawford had been dismissed from the team and freshman Antwan Roberts had been suspended.

A reason for the discipline was not given and UW said it would have no further comment on the situation.

However, Crawford took to Twitter to explain his side of the story, saying Wisconsin did not treat him fairly and accusing Roberts of attacking him in his dorm room.

I was treated so unfairly in all of this. I want everyone to know that. They didn’t even want to hear my side. he literally broke into my dorm room and tried to jump me while I was sitting on the couch with my back turned to him he started it all.

What would you do if someone broke into your living space and attacked you saying he wants to kill you?

Both players were part of Wisconsin’s 2021 recruiting class that saw the Badgers bring in four freshmen running backs plus a transfer in junior Chez Mellusi.

Crawford was a three-star recruit from Eau Claire, Wis. He was ranked as the sixth-best player in the state and the 37th-best running back in the country.

Roberts was also a three-star recruit out of Nashville. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Roberts ran for 3,442 yards and 49 touchdowns during a three-year varsity career.

Neither player was likely to factor into Wisconsin’s plans this fall.
