Shannon was suspended for the entire 2014 season after he was accused of sexual assault. One week after the initial allegations, the Cleveland County (Okla.) District Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges.

However, a Title IX investigation led to the suspension which was upheld by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
