Penn State defensive tackle Abe Koroma, defensive lineman Maurice Evans and tight end Andrew Quarless will not play Saturday against Oregon State, Joe Paterno said on the Nittany Lion Hotline tonight, adding cornerback Willie Harriott has been removed from the team.

Police said they found on Tuesday a small amount of marijuana at a Nittany Apartments residence, whose most current residents are Quarless, Evans, Koroma and cornerback A.J. Wallace, according to a search warrant. No charges have been filed in the incident. Police have said they are still trying to determine who had possession of the marijuana.

Asked if the three players are being held out because of the Tuesday's incident, Penn State sports information director Jeff Nelson replied, "I'm not aware of any other reason."

Wallace will play this weekend, Paterno said.

"Wallace was really not part of that situation," Paterno said, referencing the Tuesday incident.

Nelson said Harriott was removed for a "violation of team rules."
