Stansbury leaves team, A&M confirms; Davis suspended
Texas A&M senior defensive lineman Gavin Stansbury was arrested earlier this offseason on Class A misdemeanor assault charges based on an incident in the Rice area of Houston, casting his status on the 2014 team into question with the outcome of a trial still to come.
Meanwhile, on Saturday news broke that Aggie redshirt freshman defensive back Victor Davis was reportedly arrested in his hometown of Rosenberg, Texas, on suspicion of shoplifting.
On Monday the Texas A&M athletic department issued a statement announcing that Stansbury had left the team for "personal reasons" and serving as the first official confirmation of Davis' arrest. Below is the AD press release:
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Texas A&M defensive lineman Gavin Stansbury has left the team to attend to personal matters, head football coach Kevin Sumlin announced Monday.
Stansbury, a 6-4, 257-pound senior from Franklin, La., played in 10 games a year ago, recording 47 total tackles and three sacks. As a sophomore in 2012, he saw action in 11 games and recorded nine tackles with seven assists and a forced fumble.
“While we will miss Gavin being a part of our program, there is more to life than football,” Sumlin said. “We wish him the best as he focuses on the personal issues ahead of him.”
Sumlin also confirmed the arrest of defensive back Victor Davis, a 6-0, 194-pound freshman from Rosenburg, Texas, on a shoplifting charge in his hometown recently. He is suspended from athletic participation per athletics department policy.
The Aggies report for camp on July 31. Texas A&M opens the 2014 season Aug. 28 at South Carolina in the first game broadcast on the SEC Network.
