Following the conclusion of spring practice on Friday, Duke (yes, Duke starts spring practice extremely early) announced the suspensions of two players: Terrance Alls and T.J. Douglas.

Alls, a wide receiver, and Douglas, a defensive back, are both redshirt sophomores. Blue Devils head coach David Cutcliffe said in a release that the suspensions are “from game competition” and are “indefinite.”

“The suspension is indefinite in length until the student-athletes uphold the academic, athletic and community standards required of a member of the Blue Devil program,” the release says.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Alls played in all 13 games for Duke in 2014 season and registered two catches for 14 yards. Alls also registered five total tackles on special teams. According to the News & Observer, Alls worked his way into the starting lineup during spring ball.

After converting from wide receiver to defensive back, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Douglas played in 12 games last season and had one tackle.

Both players redshirted in 2013.

Coming off a 9-4 record in 2014, the Blue Devils will open their 2015 season on the road at Tulane on Sept. 3.
