Former Massillon Washington High School star Brian Gamble has been removed from the University of Illinois football team along with offensive linemen Mark Jackson, Head Coach Ron Zook confirmed Wednesday.
"Brian Gamble and Mark Jackson have had issues with the university," Zook said. "They had some things from last year that they had to get corrected that they didn't get done. Now, it's an institutional issue. They're not in the program right now.
"We had a pretty good idea that was going to happen. We moved on a long time ago."
Gamble played wide receiver last season for Illinois. He caught a touchdown pass at Ohio Stadium against Ohio State in a game the Buckeyes lost.
