A former standout at A&M Consolidated High School has been sidelined from the University of Texas-El Paso football team.
Daniel Palmer, 19, and a UTEP teammate, Nickolas Sampson, were arrested in El Paso County Monday, accused of robbery. Palmer bonded out of jail early Thursday morning.
No other details on their arrests were made available.
Both players have been suspended until the charges are resolved, according to UTEP Director of Athletics Bob Stull.
"As is our policy on situations such as this, we will wait until we have all the facts before taking any appropriate disciplinary action," Stull said in a statement.
Palmer was a starting tailback and four-year letter winner at Consol.
In a statement, UTEP football coach Mike Price said, "I was surprised that these two young men would be involved in any type of activity like this. They haven't done anything wrong before and have been good student-athletes in our program. But we will take swift and decisive action when the matter has been resolved."

First, it isn't the sport, it is the heart and soul of an individual that decides to do right or wrong. You go to any school and you find the kids that are doing athletics, UIL, 4h, FFA or other school sponsored activies and compare those kids crime statitics to those in the school population that do nothing but the bare minimum...then tell me who is likely to end up in trouble. I am willing to bet the likely hood of kids that are not involved have a higher insistance of bad behavior down the road than those that do.

Joe is correct. Your typical coach has no control over his emotions and has the maturity level of an angry two year old. I used to go to games, just to watch the coaches make total complete fools of themselves. the screaming and carrying on, when they don't get their way makes for good, free entertainment. It is hilarious. My favorite tantrum was when a high school coach got a nice, new shiny pair of ankle bracelets, courtesy of an observant police officer after a tantrum.
