USC TE Saunders suspended indefinitely

USC tight end Weslye Saunders has been suspended indefinitely for undisclosed team reasons, according to a source close to the program.
Saunders, a junior from Durham, N.C., was the Gamecocks’ third-leading receiver last season with 32 catches for 353 yards and three touchdowns. He had 12 receptions in the first two games, including an eight-catch game in a loss at Georgia.
Saunders asked for an evaluation from the NFL’s underclassmen advisory committee, but elected to return to school for his senior season.
The outspoken Saunders has landed in Steve Spurrier’s doghouse occasionally for his public comments. Before the N.C. State game, Saunders jokingly said he planned to ask Spurrier if he could take an unsportsmanlike penalty after he scored against the Wolfpack.
