Larrow joined the Scarlet Knights in 2011 as a defensive end, starting the first five games of the season before an ankle injury took him off the field. He was then suspended for four games in 2012 for a "violation of team policy," according to the article.
A spokesman for Rutgers University did not immediately return a request for comment.
