Overview

• Freshman defensive lineman Antonio Coleman was suspended indefinitely for violating team rules, and Hugh Freeze declined to disclose further details.
• Freeze said enforcing consequences is vital for instilling accountability and warned that players must meet program expectations to return.
• Coleman’s suspension is the third such action this preseason, following linebacker DJ Barber’s dismissal and tight end Hollis Davidson’s restriction to practices only.
• Despite these roster setbacks, Auburn maintains nine scholarship interior defensive linemen and plans to rotate heavily up front.
• Freeze indicated that Coleman will be eligible to rejoin the team once he satisfies the disciplinary conditions set by the coaching staff.
