11:07 AM ET 10.21 | Running back Mustafa Greene's troubled career at N.C. State is over. The sophomore running back has been dismissed from the team, coach Tom O'Brien said Saturday. Greene and redshirt freshman receiver Tyrell Burriss weren't "champions in the classroom or champions in the community," according to O'Brien. "So they're not going to get the opportunity to play on this football team," O'Brien said after the Wolfpack's 20-18 win at Maryland. Greene's career took a wrong turn after leading the team in rushing as a true freshman in 2010. A foot injury cost Greene all of the 2011 season. Before he returned to practice this spring, he was arrested in Rowan County in February for multiple driving violations and then skipped his court date, which led to a new arrest in Wake County in April for a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge.
