LSU's Russell Shepard out of SEC media days

According to SportsNOLA.com, and citing multiple unnamed sources, Shepard may be suspended for undisclosed reasons in the near future. The website goes on to add that Shepard could miss the opener against Oregon, which would apparently be a result of whatever it was that would trigger the suspension.

The school has refused comment on the speculation surrounding Shepard.

Should these rumors come to fruition and Shepard is held out against the Ducks, he would become the second high-profile player to miss the highly-anticipated contest; earlier this year, Oregon All-American corner Cliff Harris was suspended for at least the opener due to various off-field transgressions.
