Larrow, three others no longer with Rutgers football

Michael Larrow, who was quietly dismissed from the Rutgers football team for disciplinary reasons earlier this month, was arrested for the second time in 10 months Sunday night in New Brunswick.

An attempt to obtain the police report was not immediately successful but Rutgers coach Kyle Flood confirmed the arrest Monday while announcing several roster changes, including the early enrollment of four members of the 2013 recruiting class.

Larrow, a Union High School graduate, was suspended for the first four games of last season ? his fourth with the program ? for a violation of team policy. He was charged in July 2012 with simple assault and disorderly conduct for a domestic incident. The female victim subsequently declined to press charges and they were dropped.

?At the time that was one of the harshest suspensions that I could remember in my time at Rutgers,? Flood said. ?I felt that it was warranted and it sent the right message to the team. I don?t really have any regrets about disciplining him more harshly than I did because I felt like I had disciplined him quite a bit. My concerns are for the kid as he goes forward. I hope he can get himself straightened out.

The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Larrow, who started five games at defensive end during the 2011 season before suffering a season-ending ankle injury, appeared in just one game after returning from suspension. With one year of eligibility remaining, he was moved to tight end during bowl practices.

?It?s been hard but I have to move past it,? Larrow said in October after he was reinstated to the team. ?It was a learning experience and I realized what I did was wrong.?

Larrow has not been part of the Rutgers program since May 6 and was looking for a transfer destination.

In addition to Larrow, punter Anthony DiPaula and offensive linemen Matt McBride and Jorge Vicioso are no longer with the team.

DiPaula, who failed to make a mark during an open competition in spring camp, is expected to transfer to a lower-level program and Vicioso is considering doing the same. McBride, a Hofstra transfer, has graduated and is uncertain whether he will play a fifth year at an FCS school ? he sat out spring camp after undergoing shoulder surgery ? or pursue a career in law enforcement.

Four freshmen ? defensive back Bryant Gross-Armiento, linebacker Nick Internicola, wide receiver Taylor Marini and tight end John Tsimis ? will begin classes Tuesday and thus be eligible to participate in summer workouts.
