JACKSON, Mississippi -- Deion Pope's tenure at Jackson State is over less than one year after it began.
Jackson State coach Tony Hughes said Monday he does not expect the former No. 1 defensive tackle recruit in the country to return for his senior season following a disciplinary hearing with school officials.
Pope was suspended indefinitely in early October stemming from an incident in practice where he allegedly punched a teammate in the face, according to a source inside the program with direct knowledge of the incident.
He had a hearing with the university's disciplinary board, which, apparently, did not go well.
"To make a long story short," Hughes said. "He's been suspended from school by the university until further notice."
Pope's suspension, and his subsequent decision to leave Jackson State, is just the latest chapter in his tumultuous collegiate football career.
