HARRISONBURG, Va. - As of June 24 2015, Football Head Coach Everett Withers, has dismissed Rhakeem Stallings, Jimmy Moreland and Keith Ford from the JMU football team. Dismissal is immediate and each individual has met in person with Coach Withers.

Withers released the following statement, "It is my responsibility to grow and mentor young people as we take our journey through the process of building a culture in the JMU football program. We must establish a foundation that seeks competitive excellence on and off the field. We set standards and we mentor our student-athletes to meet those standards. Unfortunately, these three young men are no longer associated with James Madison University football due to violations of our team core values and disregard for the legal system. When individuals threaten the integrity of our team appropriate action will be taken".

There will be no further comment from Coach Withers or other university representatives.
