Maryland freshman linebacker Lukas Foreman has been suspended from the football team for one year due to a violation of the school's code of conduct, athletics department officials announced Wednesday.

Foreman, from Naples, Fla., will serve the one-year suspension from the program beginning immediately.

"Being a University of Maryland student-athlete carries a tremendous honor and responsibility,'' director of athletics Kevin Anderson said. "As much as we appreciate the effort this young man gave to the program this season, he was unable to live up to that responsibility. We're certainly disappointed, but hope that he will use this as a learning experience.''

Foreman served a redshirt season as a defensive back in 2011. He moved to linebacker prior to spring practice.
