The Auburn football program has been hit with multiple suspensions following the discovery of an explicit video featuring several players.
The university, not the athletic department, has announced having handed suspensions to an unknown number of student-athletes who are accused of being involved in footage showing junior running back Jarquez Hunter participating in explicit activities.
The RB was shown engaging in sex acts in multiple videos which have been making the rounds on social media over the past few days.
“We are aware of the situation and takes this matter very seriously,” the university announced on Thursday. “The appropriate offices are conducting a thorough review. Indefinite suspensions have been issued for violation of applicable Auburn Athletics department policy. No further comment will be provided at this time.”
According to Trey Wallace of Outkick, Auburn was unable to release the names of the students who have been suspended.
The school is investigating how the video showing someone filming sexual activity between the player and an unidentified female got out. The clips popped up on a Twitter account that has since been locked, with the owner noting that persons who wish to view the video could do so for $5.
