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.
