Already thin along the offensive line, LSU could find itself perilously lacking along that unit depending on how things play out over the next couple of weeks.
The football program announced Wednesday morning that junior Maea Teuhema has been indefinitely suspended from the team by head coach Ed Orgeron. The only reason given was the standard unspecified violations of team rules.
Teuhema was not on the field with the rest of his teammates as summer camp kicked off late last month because of what Orgeron described as “academic issues.”
From the New Orleans Times-Picayune:Final exams for summer school ended Thursday, and the first grades from summer school were due Tuesday, according to an LSU academic calendar.
A summer intersession runs from Aug. 7 to Aug. 19 with final grades due Aug. 23.
LSU kicks off the 2017 season Sept. 2 against BYU in Houston.
Teuhema, a four-star 2015 recruit, started 21 games the past two seasons, 11 at left guard as a true freshman and 10 at right tackle last season. He earned Freshman All-American honors following the 2015 season.
This year, Teuhema had been slated to start at right guard for the Tigers.
