Report: Auburn suspends freshman receiver Jashawn Sheffield following multiple arrests
Published:
Jashawn Sheffield found out the hard way that Auburn is willing to hand out punishment when the program’s players step out of line.
Following two arrests in Georgia in a span of just 11 days, Auburn has indefinitely suspended the redshirt freshman receiver. This news was first reported by Tom Green of AL.com.
Earlier this month, Sheffield was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct which was followed by an arrest for suspicion of DUI in the state of Georgia. Both charges are misdemeanors.
Sheffield saw action in just one game last season, which came against Samford. Sheffield signed with Auburn out of Brunswick, Ga., where he played for Frederica Academy and finished his high school career as a 2019 Under Armour All-American.
The Georgia native was a four-star recruit in Auburn’s 2019 recruiting class.
