South Carolina coach Will Muschamp announced on Saturday that two former defensive starters -- defensive back Al Harris Jr. and defensive end David Johnson -- have been dismissed from the program.
"They are no longer part of the team," Muschamp said, per 247Sports. "We wish them the best."
Muschamp did not elaborate as to why the two players had been kicked off the team.
