Report: Ingram Suspension Due to Arrest in Texas

26

Suspended LSU offensive lineman Ed Ingram was arrested on two counts of aggravated sexual assault in Dallas County on Aug. 2, the Dallas County Sheriff's Department told The Advocate. The arrest came the day before the Tigers' preseason camp began.

Brooks Kubena at the Advocate has uncovered the reason behind RG Ed Ingram's suspension from fall camp, and it's an awful one. The report goes on to state that the incident, which occurred in August 2017, also involved a minor in some way. Needless to say, it's unlikely that Ingram, who played in almost every game last season, will be rejoining the team anytime soon.

Crazy Days in Mississippi

"Robertson called Thomas Mars, an attorney who is representing former Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt in his defamation lawsuit against Ole Miss. Mars had been introduced to Robertson through a third party he found while doing online research into Nutt's case. They've since developed a close working relationship, talking on the phone several times a day and sharing what they found in their investigations."

Kendell Beckwith and Tre’Davious White will return for their senior seasons LB Kendell Beckwith statement on his decision to return to LSU: "After a lot of prayer and careful consideration about the 2016 NFL Draft, and after speaking with my family and Coach Miles at great lengths, I have decided to return to LSU for my senior season. I feel as if I have a lot of unfinished business here at LSU. I want to give a special thank you to my family and friends who have been extremely supportive in helping me achieve my goals and especially during this decision. They'll continue to be an important part of my journey and I'm so grateful for their guidance and love. I have made friendships and memories that will last a lifetime here at LSU, and I'm so humbled to even be in the position that I am today. Tiger stadium is without a doubt the best place on Earth to play college football and I cannot wait to be back there on Saturdays in front of our unbelievable fans." CB Tre’Davious White statement on his decision to return to LSU: "After careful consideration and gathering as much information as possible about the draft process, I feel that it’s in my best interest to return to LSU for my senior season. I want to thank my family, Coach Miles and the LSU staff for their support during this process. Decisions like this are never easy to make. Getting a college degree and becoming the first member of my family to graduate from a school like LSU has always been important to me. Playing in Tiger Stadium in front of our great fans is something that I just wasn’t ready to say good bye to. I’m going to leave LSU with a degree and do everything that I can to help this team compete for a national title."

Great piece from Al.com on Miles and his relationship with Sid Ortis a terminally ill teenager Miles has built a friendship with. It's nice to have a coach that's so fundamentally decent and will make the University proud.
