Myles Slusher quits Arkansas football team ahead of Mizzou game

Arkansas defensive back Myles Slusher was not in uniform pre-game ahead of the Hogs’ final game of the season Friday at Missouri.

Arkansas communications staffers confirmed Slusher had quit the team.

Slusher, the team’s starting nickel, posted from Instagram on Thursday with a dateline in Oklahoma. Slusher is from Broken Arrow. Arkansas was set to fly out to Columbia earlier Thursday. On Friday, about two hours before kickoff, someone controlling Slusher’s Twitter account was tweeting, as well, fueling online speculation about his status.

Slusher, along with teammate Anthony Brown, was initially suspended for one game by coach Sam Pittman following an arrest for disorderly conduct on the weekend of November 5 after the team’s loss to Liberty.

Police body-cam footage made public last week suggested officers ignored other civilians who were participating in the same activities that allegedly led to one of the officers grabbing Brown.

Slusher played in six games for the Razorbacks this season with 28 tackles, two sacks and five tackles for-loss.
