CLEMSON — A Clemson University senior reserve football player has been dismissed from the team following his arrest on assault charges.

James Wesley Cumbie, 22, of 119 Nettles Road, Clemson, is charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature in connection with an incident that occurred last month, police said.

Clemson police responded to a report of an assault at 2 a.m. May 28 at the intersection of North Clemson and Hillcrest Avenues.

Upon arrival, police found that the victim had several lacerations around his face. The victim was transported to Greenville Memorial Hospital for treatment, the incident report stated.

The victim’s injuries included 6 or 7 fractures of the facial area, numerous lacerations to the mouth, a hemotoma to the right temple that included swelling and bleeding of the brain, two black eyes, a broken tooth and other teeth “bent back to the gum,” a warrant obtained from the Clemson Municipal Court states.

The victim’s nose was also broken in several places, the warrant states.

The suspect admitted to striking the victim, the warrant states.

“I have dismissed Jamie Cumbie from the Clemson football program for a violation of team rules,”Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney said in a prepared statement.

“I appreciate what he has done for our program the last four years and wish him the best in the future.”

Hailing from Morriis, Illinois, Cumbie played in 13 of 14 games last year, according to university records. He was a defensive tackle, and has one year of remaining eligibility.

Cumbie was released the day after his arrest on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond, said Maj. Karry Walker with the Clemson Police Department.
