Adam Robinson is no longer a member of the Iowa Hawkeyes football team. Coach Kirk Ferentz told The Gazette Monday that Robinson had been dismissed from the team, but offered no further comment
Robinson, a 21-year-old sophomore, was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana on Dec. 27 and has a court appearance Jan. 5.
The 5-foot-9, 205-pound running back was one of the bigger weapons on the Iowa offense through much of the 2010 season. In 10 games -- before falling injured with an ankle problem -- Robinson rushed for 941 yards and 10 touchdowns on 203 carries. He also caught 24 passes for 290 yards and a TD. He rushed for more than 100 yards in six of the nine full games he played (he didn't start against Ohio State because of what Ferentz called "academic indigestion").
Iowa endured a disappointing 2010 season, marred by suspensions and arrests, not to mention going just 7-5 in a regular season that once contained national championship aspirations. The Hawkeyes did close on a high note, beating No. 14 Missouri 27-24 in the Insight Bowl. In that game, Ferentz found his running back of the future. Freshman tailback Marcus Coker gained 219 yards and scored two touchdowns on 33 rushing attempts.
