After being charged with two counts of indecent exposure in October, Texas A&M wide receiver Kirk Merritt has been removed from the team, according to the Bryan-College Station Eagle.

"Wide receiver Kirk Merritt was removed from Texas A&M football team Monday, according to an A&M official not authorized to speak publicly on the issue," the paper said.

Merritt is no longer listed on the official A&M football roster.

Merritt was charged in the fall with two counts of indecent exposure stemming from two incidents where he was accused of exposing himself to female tutors on back-to-back days in October.

"In one count, an alleged victim accused Merritt of exposing and touching himself 'while sitting in arm's reach' of her 'on or about' Oct. 24. About a day later according to a court document, another alleged victim claimed Merritt pulled down his shorts and held himself also 'while sitting in arm's reach' of her. The document describes both alleged victims as 'offended or alarmed by the act of exposure.'"

Merritt's attorney blamed the incidents on a bad case of jock itch.

"While Kirk is very embarrassed about this situation, and has apologized to the two tutors that he offended, he did not intend to gratify anyone by exposing himself.

"The fact is that Kirk had a bad case of jock itch. The statute Kirk has been accused of violating requires that the Defendant have an intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person and that the Defendant is reckless about whether another may be present who will be offended or alarmed by his conduct."

Merritt was suspended from all team activities after his arrest on Nov. 8 as the school investigated. The investigation was concluded on Jan. 20 and he was allowed to rejoin the team on Feb. 1. Though he went through spring practice with the team, he was held out of the team's Spring Game on Apr. 8 after the charges came to light.

Merritt was a former four-star recruit from Destrehan, La., who signed with Oregon out of high school. After one year, he transferred to A&M and sat out last season due to transfer rules. As a sophomore this coming season, he was expected to compete for playing time at the slot receiver position.

UPDATE: Texas A&M has confirmed that Merritt is no longer on the roster.
