On Tuesday Sept. 3, head football coach, Matt Viator, announced at his weekly press conference that defensive end Kerry Starks would be suspended against Florida State.
Starks’ suspension was a result of him allegedly spitting on Grambling State tight end Kalif Jackson. The incident was found out due to Jackson tweeting about it.
Similarly, there was a video of Starks allegedly punching a player at the bottom of the pile during the same game.
This was not Starks’ first incident as he was suspended in the spring for charges of domestic abuse battery and simple criminal damage to property.
