Tuesday, LSU confirmed that freshman offensive lineman Donavaughn Campbell had been suspended following an off-field incident at Georgia Tech over the weekend. A couple of days later, Campbell will have some familiar company on the proverbial sidelines.
Thursday, interim head coach Ed Orgeron announced that Jazz Ferguson has been indefinitely suspended and will not play in the game against top-ranked Alabama this Saturday. Aside from the broad and all-encompassing unspecified violations of team rules, no reason for the punitive measure was given.
Ferguson wasn’t in attendance at practice earlier in the week, triggering speculation that the sophomore could be injured.
After playing in two games last season, Ferguson has played in six this season. He started one of those contests.
On the year, Ferguson has two catches for 17 yards. As the Baton Rouge Advocate notes, the 6-5, 233-pound receiver serves primarily as a blocker when he is on the field.
