Jose Jose was released from his scholarship with the UCF football team Monday due to a violation of team guidelines and player conduct.

"I have decided to release Jose Jose from his scholarship at UCF due to expected player conduct rules and guidelines that have been established by UCF and the UCF football program." said head football coach George O'Leary.

Jose, who was one of 23 newcomers in UCF's 2010 signing class, was arrested Friday on weapons charges, according to a report by the Orlando Sentinel.

Jose was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and carrying a concealed firearm and was booked into the Dade County jail Friday morning.

He was one of five recruits from Miami Central High School who signed with UCF just more than a month ago.

You think these players could have enough respect for the school they are representing and being honored with scholarships. Is it that hard to stay out of trouble? Enjoy having your name ruined and good luck getting another scholarship!!
