The school announced Monday that inside linebackers Natrez Patrick and Roquan Smith violated no university policies that would require a suspension. Athletic director Greg McGarity said both players passed drug tests.

Police were called to Patrick's dormitory room shortly after a loss to Vanderbilt on Oct. 15. A resident assistant reported the smell of pot, but no drugs were found and neither player was charged.

Patrick served a one-game suspension last year after being arrested for marijuana possession. He is the Bulldogs' leader with 42 tackles this season, followed by Smith with 39.
