TULSA, Okla. -- Starting linebacker Shawn Jackson has been suspended for the first three games of Tulsa's season.
Coach
Bill Blankenship announced Tuesday that Jackson would not play against
Iowa State, Tulane or Nicholls State because of a violation of team
policy. He will be eligible to return for a Sept. 22 game against Fresno
State.
Jackson started 23 games over his first two seasons with Tulsa and was second on the team last season with 101 tackles.
Blankenship
says the Golden Hurricane need Jackson "to be a leader on and off the
field, and I firmly believe that he has the character, determination and
work ethic to be just that for this football team."
