Two Kansas University football players have left the program, the school announced Tuesday.

Senior defensive lineman Todd Haselhorst said he left the program for “health reasons.” Junior cornerback Anthony Webb was dismissed for violation of team policy, according to KU football spokesman Mike Strauss.

Haselhorst said: “I’ve always had stomach issues since I’ve been here. I’ve been throwing up every day during conditioning. It’s that and I’ve been having back pain recently and I decided to hang it up.”

Haselhorst said he plans to attend classes at KU during the fall semester to complete the 12 credits he needs to graduate. He said he will attend all home football games “to support the team.”

“I’ve had a lot of fun in the program and they’ve given me some great memories,” Haselhorst said. “It’s a great bunch of guys and great coaches and there is no doubt in my mind they’ll have success again this year if they do the right things, if they practice hard, work hard and do everything 100 percent all the time, like we did last year.”

Haselhorst said he would like to “thank all the fans for their support and thank the coaches and the players for letting me have this opportunity.”
