Arkansas coach Sam Pittman has laid down punishment for Slusher, Brown following arrests
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman announced the punishment for defensive backs Myles Slusher and Anthony Brown following their arrests over the weekend.
The two will be suspended from at least one game, possibly more, and will have to do extra running during morning practices and extra scout-team work in the afternoons.
Slusher and Brown were arrested overnight Saturday into Sunday for disorderly conduct after getting into an altercation with police. They were arrested around 2 a.m. and were released around 9 a.m.
Slusher has started all five games he’s played this year for Arkansas at nickel back. He has 20 tackles including four for-loss. Jayden Johnson is listed as the No. 2 nickel on the team’s depth chart.
Pittman said the team could go with Johnson or could move Simeon Blair from safety to nickel, Malik Chavis from cornerback to safety and insert Quincey McAdoo into the lineup. McAdoo, a freshman, arrived a wide receiver but switched to defense and made his debut there last week against Liberty. He intercepted a pass and blocked a punt for a safety.
“With the emergence of Quincey, that kind of buys us another player, another option to move around,” Pittman said.
Brown has not played this year, his freshman season.
Arkansas hosts LSU at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on Saturday for Week 11.
