Will Yeatman Suspended?
5th Feb 2008
According to Rivals.com, tight end and lacrosse star, Will Yeatman has been suspended indefinitely from both teams. According to a couple sources, it was a DUI. Many believe the punishment will last for the lacrosse season and spring football practice. This would be devastating for Will due to the tight end position opening and the chance of being a starter. Don’t be surprised if Kyle Rudolph or Mike Ragone are starting for the Irish in the fall.
Hopefully an official announcement will be made within the next couple days.
Will Yeatman—the Notre Dame lacrosse standout and promising 6-foot-6, 265-pound tight end who was expected to succeed John Carlson in the starting lineup this fall on the football squad—appears to have some obstacles to overcome first.
Long-time Irish lacrosse coach Kevin Corrigan confirmed information provided by multiple sources over the last few days that Yeatman had been suspended from the lacrosse squad.
“All I’ll say right now is that we’ve suspended Will indefinitely,” said Corrigan Tuesday afternoon.
When asked if there was a possibility that Yeatman could be reinstated at some point during the spring season, Corrigan said, “I’m not going to say anything other than he is suspended indefinitely for violation of team policy.”
Later Tuesday afternoon, IrishIllustrated.com confirmed that Yeatman also had been suspended indefinitely from the football team, which begins spring practice next month. - Tim Prister of IrishIllustrated.com

I got my info this past weekend from the GUG. Will was dropping off a female friend who goes to Holy Cross College across the street when he got pulled over.
That’s all the info. I can dish out right now.
As for RPN’s situation, he was already a 5th year senior at the time. I do, however, see that Yeatman will most likely miss this lax season and spring practices. He’ll most likely get some pretrial diversion program and be back with the team for fall camp.
But you never know with the administration. It’s a case-by-case situation. So let’s keep our fingers crossed that he will be back in an Irish uniform soon! Reply

Thank you very much for the information weisgipper. Notre Dame does not go lightly on their punishments. Hopefully everything will turn out okay for Yeatman in the end.

Not true. He was not dropping off a female friend. He was with guys. He is a really good guy and I hope everything works out and he will come back stronger next season. The newspapers are making him out to seem like an idiot. All anyone can do right now is be supportive.
