Brandon Drumgoole was found guilty of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia

Brandon Drumgoole was found guilty of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia charges last week in Jackson County District Court.According to the Jackson County Clerk of Court’s Office, Drumgoole has appealed the convictions and has an Aug. 25 date in Superior Court. WCU spokesman Daniel Hooker said Drumgoole has been suspended indefinitely depending the outcome of his appeal.
A 6-6, 230-pound senior defensive end from Greensboro who transferred from Wake Forest, Drumgoole started eight games last season and finished with 55 tackles, fifth-best on the team. Drumgoole, who also started four games in 2006 and finished with 28 tackles, received sentences of 45 days suspended for 24 months, supervised probation and a fine of $100 and costs on each of the two convictions. Since Wagner replaced Kent Briggs as head coach in January, at least 14 players who were on the team last season have been dismissed or left the team, including 10 who have started games.
