Teague and Ruckert are the eighth and ninth members of the 2018 class to lose their black stripe, following Tyreke Smith, who shed his stripe earlier today.
Teague was a four-star running back out of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, while Ruckert was a four-star tight end out of Lindenhurst, New York. Both could potentially see minutes this upcoming season.
