South Carolina junior receiver Deebo Samuel was not present during a Saturday incident where USC football players are accused of assaulting a man in a Five Points bar, head coach Will Muschamp said Tuesday.
“We’re still kind of gathering the facts. I’ve been out of town, so been out of pocket,” Muschamp said. “I really don’t have any other comment other than I have talked to Deebo Samuel and he was not at the establishment. It’s an incorrect report and some irresponsible journalism in my opinion, but it is what it is.”
