Conley, Cambridge Will Not Return to Blue
Hen Football Team in 2005
DATE:
March 31, 2005
NEWARK, DE
-- University of Delaware head football
coach K.C. Keeler has announced that three
members of the Blue Hen football team -
senior wide receiver Justin Long, junior
offensive lineman Scott Conley, and
redshirt freshman running back Gomez
Cambridge - will not return to the team
this fall.
Long, a
three-year starter from Pennsauken, NJ
(Pennsauken High School), has been
dismissed from the University for one year
after his appeal of a decision stemming
from an on-campus incident earlier this
semester was denied by the UD Student
Judicial System this week. Long led the
team with 68 receptions for 772 yards and
six touchdowns during the 2004 season and
had posted career totals of 164 receptions
for 1,910 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Conley, a
three-year squad member from Marietta, GA
(McEachern HS) who started 10 games at
offensive guard last season, has been
ruled ineligible for competition for one
year due to a violation of athletics
policy. He plans to remain with the team
this spring as a student assistant coach.
He appeared in 29 games over the last two
seasons and also served as the team's
snapper on placements.
Cambridge,
a running back from Riviera Beach, FL
(W.T. Dwyer HS) who sat out the 2004
season as a redshirt, has decided not to
return to school.
Delaware,
which will open spring practice this
Monday, April 4, is coming off a 9-4
season in 2004 that saw the Blue Hens
capture their second straight Atlantic 10
Conference title and advance to the NCAA
I-AA quarterfinals. This year's annual
Blue-White Spring Game is scheduled for
Saturday, April 30 at 12 noon at Delaware
Stadium.
