Adolphus Washington's college career is over.
The Ohio State senior defensive tackle was suspended for the Jan. 1 Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame after being cited by Columbus police for solicitation on Wednesday night. He faces a Dec. 17 court date.
In a statement released by the school on Friday, coach Urban Meyer announced that Washington violated team policy.
Washington was remoreful in a statement issued through the university.
"I want to sincerely apologize to my family, to coach Meyer and the coaching staff, to my teammates and my friends for my lack of judgment last night and for my actions that I truly regret," Washington said. "I have wanted to be a high-character teammate, a contributor to the success of this program and, most importantly, someone my family can be proud of.
"I am extremely disappointed in myself, and I can honestly say I will learn from my mistake and I will accept the consequences that deservedly will come my way. And I hope that people will know that I am truly sorry and that I sincerely do apologize."
The two-year starter was selected for several All-American teams and named All-Big Ten this season. He is ranked by NFLDraftScout.com as the No. 26 overall prospect in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Washington was seventh on the team in tackles and fourth in sacks this season. He recently accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl, but there was no immediate word on his status for that game.
