Big news out of LSU today. WWL's Deke Bellavia reports that Quarterback Ryan Perrilloux has been indefinitely suspended from the football team.
"As of right now, Ryan Perrilloux is not on the LSU Football Team. Whether or not he will be let back on the team or not... we hope to find that out in the next few days," reported Bellavia.
Perrilloux allegedly missed classes and team activities in the past few weeks.
"It is yet to be determined if he will be kicked off the team for good," Bellavia reports. He says Perrilloux is not expected to participate in at least the first few weeks of spring practices next month, and may not be back at all.
Coach Les Miles was expected to have a news conference today concerning other matters, but has canceled the event.
