LSU receiver and playmaker Russell Shepard will serve a three-week suspension before returning to action when the Tigers visit West Virginia on September 24th.

The Tigers got past Oregon — and put 40 points on the board in the process — without their big-play threat. He will now sit out LSU’s games with Northwestern State and Mississippi State.

Shepard was suspended for discussing an ongoing NCAA investigation with a teammate. Most likely, after speaking with NCAA investigators about street agent Willie Lyles, Shepard was told not to detail what questions might be asked of others.
