CFB: Utah State's leading tackler suspended for season

Associated Press

LOGAN, Utah — Antonio Taylor, Utah State's leading tackler, was suspended for the season today for a violation of team rules — ending his career with the Aggies.

A statement from coach Brent Guy didn't provide specifics of the violation.

"We're not going to get into details," spokesman Doug Hoffman said.

In two games, Taylor made 25 tackles. He had 74 last season, becoming the first non-linebacker to lead the team since 1978.

Utah State described the punishment as a suspension because Taylor is free to practice with the Aggies but won't play in games, Hoffman said.

In his 31-game career, Taylor had 211 tackles and three interceptions.
