Dunn was also in legal trouble in July 2016, when a girlfriend accused him of hitting her in the face and choking her. She claimed her lip was bleeding and she had a black eye. Shortly after the incident, Urban Meyer dismissed Dun from the team for “violation of team rules.”
Meyer said there was “no chance” Dunn would return to the program.
