No. 21 Cougars dismiss top WR

No. 21 Washington State has dismissed leading receiver Tavares Mar

tin Jr. from the team for violation of team rules. A school spokesman confirmed the move Sunday. Martin led the Cougars with 70 receptions and nine touchdowns during the regular season as Washington State went 9-3 and earned a spot in the Holiday Bowl. He was named second-team all-Pac-12 by the AP. The loss of Martin leaves the Cougars without two of their top three receivers for the Holiday Bowl matchup against Michigan State.
