Ishmael Adams suspended indefinitely following arrest

Jim Mora wasted no time disciplining Ishmael Adams following his arrest for allegedly stealing a cellphone from an Uber driver.

Mora announced Tuesday that he has suspended the redshirt junior cornerback indefinitely.

“Obviously, I can’t get into any particulars because it is a pending legal issue,” Mora told reporters. “But as a football coach, as a parent, you hate to see young men get themselves into bad situations. I take it very seriously and I take it very personally as well.

“We consistently, as staff, as a university, as a support group, stress the importance of making good decisions to our young men.
