Alcorn State University’s head football coach, Cedric Thomas, has suspended two senior players due to disciplinary issues. The decision, announced earlier this week, aims to uphold the team’s standards of conduct and foster a culture of accountability within the program.
The players, who have not been publicly named, were reportedly involved in incidents that violated the team’s code of conduct. Coach Thomas emphasized the importance of discipline and teamwork, stating, “We are committed to creating an environment where every player understands the values of respect and responsibility.”
This move comes as the Braves prepare for the upcoming season, aiming to maintain focus and unity among the team. Coach Thomas noted that while discipline is necessary, the focus will also be on providing support and guidance to the affected players to help them learn from their mistakes.
As Alcorn State looks ahead to its next game, the coaching staff and players are rallying together to ensure that this setback does not affect their performance on the field. With the season still in its early stages, the Braves are determined to compete at a high level while reinforcing the importance of discipline both on and off the field.
