SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FOOTBALL

Jamel Cook has been dismissed from the South Carolina Gamecocks football team, head coach Will Muschamp said on Sunday night.

Cook was recently arrested and charged with second-degree domestic violence according to Richland County public records.

Cook was arrested Oct. 18 and was released Saturday on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond on the condition he "does not return to incident location" and has "no contact with victim," according to public records.

Muschamp stated that he met with Cook on Sunday and dismissed him from the program. The safety did not dress yesterday in South Carolina's loss to Florida.

Cook transferred in before the start of last season from Southern California and sat out due to transfer rules. He's played in one game this season, Charleston Southern, and recorded one tackle.

If found guilty, it is a misdemeanor charge and carries with it a fine between $500 to $5,000, a prison sentence no longer than three years or both.
