LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Harrison Hill, a senior wide receiver at Kansas, has left the football team after continuing to suffer from dehydration.

"He has not been able to keep fluids in his body," coach Mark Mangino said. "He has fought through it, but at this point in time he can't get over the hump."

Hill, granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA after breaking his shoulder blade in four places during the second game of 2001, had 108 career receptions for 1,535 yards and seven touchdowns.

"I have dealt with heat and dehydration problems since high school," Hill said. "The doctors have tried everything they can to help me get over the problem, but it keeps getting worse."

A starter in 34 of his 36 games at Kansas, Hill led the team and was fifth in the Big 12 with 47 catches for 591 yards in 2000.
