LOS ANGELES (AP) -Southern California freshman running back Dillon Baxter was suspended for the season opener at Hawaii.
Trojans coach Lane Kiffin told reporters Wednesday after practice that Baxter was suspended for violating team rules, but gave no details.
“I think this is an extremely strong message, a very severe punishment, for a player that may be our most potentially skilled player on our whole roster to miss his first game,” Kiffin said.
Baxter will continue to practice with the team. He was one of the stars of spring practice for USC and was expected to have a significant role in the Trojans’ offense.
