Linebacker Bruce Davis leaves Iowa program

The release from Iowa's sports information office:

University of Iowa linebacker Bruce Davis has left the Hawkeye football team. Coach Kirk Ferentz made the announcement Monday. The senior from Cleveland, Ohio (Glenville HS) will graduate in December.

“Bruce Davis has decided to leave the football team, citing personal reasons for his decision,” said Ferentz. “Bruce was a part of three very specials football seasons. The coaching staff and I appreciate Bruce's contributions over the past four-and-a-half years and wish him success in finishing his degree in December and beyond.”

Davis recorded four assisted tackles while seeing action in each of Iowa's first three games. Davis suffered a major injury in the Arizona game early in the 2010 season and missed the remainder of the season.
