Washington Post: emphasis through repetition?

From an article in the Washington Post on the Harvard cheating scandal, one notes a certain repetition:

Murphy declined to say how many players who were out of uniform. The most notable absence from the Harvard sideline was junior receiver Matt Brown, who appeared in 10 games for last year’s Ivy League football champions and also played on the Crimson basketball team that reached the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1946.

Asked why Brown was missing, the coach said, “Not able to talk about kids who aren’t here.”

“Not able to talk about kids who aren’t here,” Murphy said, declining also to give a total number of players who were out of uniform.
