Highly touted freshman safety latest to face discipline

Baylor coach Art Briles has had to issue suspensions to multiple players and coaches in the first month of the season.

Highly touted freshman defensive back J.W. Ketchum had yet to see action this season and now it appears he will not after being removed from the Baylor roster, according to coach Art Briles.

Ketchum violated unspecified team rules. He was jailed on Aug. 15 on a charge of possession of marijuana under 2 ounces, according to the Waco Tribune-Herald.

A source told the Tribune-Herald's John Werner that Ketchum is working on fulfilling some team requirements to be reinstated on the active roster.
