Vanderbilt Suspends 3 Players After Involvement in Shooting at Target

Vanderbilt Commodores head football coach Derek Mason suspended wide receiver Donaven Tennyson, cornerback Frank Coppet and safety Tae Daley on Wednesday.

Adam Sparks of the Tennessean cited a Vanderbilt statement, noting the suspensions are indefinite after the players were involved in a shooting Monday night when attempting to retrieve a stolen cell phone.

Sparks described the incident, which took place in a Target parking lot.

Tennyson put his phone on sale online, but it was stolen when he met a potential buyer. He then made a fake account to retrieve it when he saw it on sale again online and brought his two teammates with him.
