Texas Trouble: WR Facing Felony Assault Charges

((ht: cbssports.com))

It must suck to be a college football coach during the late winter/early spring, when you don't totally have control over where your players are and what they are doing.

The Texas Longhorns are again dealing with trouble after rising sophomore Cayleb Jones was charged with felony assault after supposedly punching a Texas Tennis Player and breaking his jaw on Feb. 22.

Jones, who was expected to compete for a starting job this upcoming season has been, according to coach Mack Brown, "Been suspended from team activities pending the outcome of the investigation".

Texas is coming off a couple of disappointing seasons, at least to their standards. There was some hullabaloo during their Alamo Bowl game back in January, when QB Case McCoy and LB Jordan Hicks were "suspended" for a violation of team rules. That investigation has since been closed.

Those two players have since been reinstated.
