MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia University football player has been sentenced to two years of probation for drug possession.

Senior linebacker John Holmes was sentenced Monday in Monongalia County Circuit Court after pleading guilty to misdemeanor marijuana possession. The judge suspended a six-month jail sentence pending completion of his probation, which includes community service and random drug testing.

Holmes and teammates Ed Collington and James Ingram were arrested in February after officers found marijuana during a traffic stop. All three were kicked off the team, but Holmes was reinstated.

Ingram, a former defensive lineman, awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to possession of and conspiracy to possess marijuana. The case against Collington, a former running back, is pending.
