The hits keep coming for Maryland at wide receiver.

The program announced Monday that sophomore Juwann Winfree has been suspended indefinitely for violating the school’s student-athlete code of conduct. This is the second suspension of Winfree’s brief career. The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder was suspended for two games last season for a previous code of conduct violation.

Winfree, a four-star recruit in Maryland’s 2014 class, caught 11 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns in eight games for the Terps last season as a true freshman.

Winfree’s suspension comes less than two weeks after the program confirmed that senior Marcus Leak, who was third on the team in receiving in 2014, is no longer enrolled at the university. In addition to Leak, three of the team’s other receivers from 2014 – Stefon Diggs (NFL), Deon Long (graduation) and Jacquille Veii (transfer) – are no longer with the program.

Fortunately for the Terps, senior Levern Jacobs (47 catches for 640 yards and 3 TDs in 2013) is slated to return from a year-long suspension. Taivon Jacobs (Levern’s brother) and Amba Etta-Tawo are also expected to contribute.

Winfree was expected to compete for a starting role in 2015. Now his status with the program is up in the air.
