Oklahoma defensive lineman R Mason Thomas will be suspended for the first half of the Sooners' Week 4 visit from No. 24 Auburn following a targeting ejection on Saturday.
Thomas, Oklahoma's 2024 sack leader, was ejected in the third quarter of the program's' Week 3 visit to Temple Saturday afternoon following a high hit on Owls quarterback Evan Simon.
Thomas was initially penalized for roughing the passer with the Sooners leading 28-3. The penalty was upgraded to targeting following an official review. Per NCAA rules, targeting penalties incurred in the second half of a game result in a first-half suspension in the subsequent game.
