Texas A&M Rallies From 27 Down as Trooper Sent Home After Tunnel Run-In With South Carolina’s Nyck Harbor

Texas DPS says the Office of Inspector General will review the officer’s conduct.

Overview

  • Texas A&M beat South Carolina 31-30 after trailing 30-3 at halftime, the largest comeback in Aggies history and the SEC’s first win from 27-plus down since 2004.
  • Marcel Reed threw three third-quarter touchdowns and E.J. Smith ran for the go-ahead score, with the Aggies’ defense closing it out with late sacks of LaNorris Sellers.
  • The tunnel incident followed Nyck Harbor’s 80-yard touchdown, when broadcast video showed a uniformed officer bumping into Harbor and a teammate before scolding him.
  • Texas A&M Police said the trooper was relieved of his game-day assignment and sent home, and Texas DPS confirmed an OIG review with no additional details released.
  • The clip drew widespread reaction on social media, including a public call from LeBron James for discipline, while Harbor returned to the game after briefly favoring his leg.
