Kalyn Story | Staff Writer

Sophomore wide receiver Ishmael Zamora will be suspended for the first three games of this season, Baylor announced Tuesday afternoon.

Zamora has been waiting for his punishment to be put in place after the police received a video on July 25 that showed Zamora repeatedly beating and stepping on his dog.

Zamora received a citation and was charged with a Class C misdemeanor for animal molestation.

In addition to the suspension, Zamora must complete 40 hours of community service, participate in counseling and give his dog to an animal-friendly home.
