RUSTON, La. (AP) — Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes says he has reinstated wide receiver Tim Molton after an 11-day suspension, but has dismissed three players who were suspended with him.

He also said Monday that defensive lineman Jared Barron has quit the team.

Molton, linebacker Kiamni Washington, and R.P. Stuart and Cruz Williams were suspended Aug. 27 for a violating a team rule which Dykes did not reveal.

Barron played in 13 games as a redshirt freshman in 2008 and was credited with 33 tackles, 13 of them solo. He left the team before preseason camp in 2009, and does not appear in this year’s online roster.

Tech (1-0) beat Grambling State 20-6 in both teams’ opener last week and plays at Texas A&M on Saturday.
