Gus Malzahn dropped a bombshell announcement Wednesday that starting running back Jovon Robinson had been dismissed from the team for not meeting the “standards or expectations of what it takes to be an Auburn Tiger.”

A few hours later, Robinson broke his silence on his personal Twitter account, which is set to private, according to AL.com.

“Im [sic] not the one in front of the camera making excuses, seek the truth,” the first tweet read.

About a half an hour later, Robinson tweeted a second time, “outside influences are never good.”

Robinson rushed for 639 yards last season and three touchdowns, including five 90-plus yard showings in the final six games.
