Texas A&M football coach Jimbo Fisher has indefinitely suspended three freshman players in response to a “locker room incident” this weekend at South Carolina, according to a report by The Athletic and other media outlets.
The Aggies’ incident appears to be internal and team-related, as multiple USC officials told The State on Tuesday afternoon that nothing regarding the visitors’ locker room at Williams-Brice Stadium — such as vandalism — had been reported to South Carolina.
Aggies cornerback Denver Harris, wide receiver Chris Marshall and offensive lineman PJ Williams have been suspended indefinitely, The Athletic reported Tuesday afternoon. TexAgs.com also reported the suspension of multiple Texas A&M freshmen Monday night. ESPN did the same on Tuesday afternoon, describing what happened as a “postgame locker room incident” that violated team rules.
South Carolina beat Texas A&M 30-24 on Saturday night in Columbia, marking the Gamecocks’ first-ever win over the Aggies in nine tries and giving USC its first four-game winning streak since 2013.
USC (5-2, 2-2 SEC) also scored its first AP Top 25 ranking of the season after dispatching Texas A&M (3-4, 1-3 SEC), debuting at No. 25 in this week’s poll.
A rough Texas A&M season getting even rougher, as Jimbo Fisher suspended three freshmen indefinitely following Saturday’s loss to South Carolina.
All three are from the Aggies’ historic No. 1 recruiting class. @billyliucci on it 1st. Story @TheAthletic: https://t.co/kcK6bbT8pz

When it rains it pours. I’ve been told at least three and perhaps four A&M players have been suspended indefinitely by Aggie head coach Jimbo Fisher, all from the true freshman ranks.
