Story summary

Dylan Stewart, a top prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft, has been indefinitely suspended by his college team, the South Carolina Gamecocks, after an incident during their game against Alabama on Saturday. During the fourth quarter of South Carolina’s 49-18 loss in Tuscaloosa, Stewart punched Alabama tight end Josh Ford's helmet and was ejected from the game. Following the match, head coach Shane Beamer announced that Stewart would not play in the upcoming game versus Kentucky.

The suspension is a result of Stewart’s actions on Saturday, which violated the team’s standards beyond just the physical altercation. “Accountability is a core value in this program and we are all accountable to the standard,” said Beamer during a press conference. Additionally, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) commissioner Greg Sankey issued a separate one-game suspension against Stewart for his actions.

The incident has significant implications for Stewart’s career as he was previously projected to be a top-10 pick in next year's NFL Draft. The indefinite nature of his suspension means that his immediate future with the Gamecocks is uncertain, and any further misconduct could result in even more severe disciplinary action.
