Arkansas linebacker Anthony Leon will be suspended for the first half vs LSU

Arkansas linebacker Anthony Leon will be suspended for the first half of the Razorbacks’ game next weekend against LSU after he was ejected Saturday night. Ejections carry an automatic suspension for the first half of the following game. The suspension is handled by the NCAA and is not subject to appeal. Leon was ejected when he appeared to throw a punch at Mississippi State receiver Chad Bumphis in the third quarter of the Razorbacks’ 38-31 win in double overtime. The senior has 52 tackles this season. Leon will be one of three defensive players serving suspensions in high-profile SEC games next week. Auburn defensive linemen Michael Goggans and Mike Blanc won’t play in the first half of the Tigers’ game with Alabama after both were ejected for throwing punches in their game last week against Georgia. Arkansas and LSU will kick-off at 2:30 p.m. next Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. The game will be televised by CBS.
