In a significant development for the Arizona State Sun Devils football program, head coach Kenny Dillingham announced the suspension of three veteran star players due to recent incidents that have raised concerns within the team.
The suspended players—defensive back Shamari Simmons, offensive lineman Zach Giella, and defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence—have been suspended following allegations of misconduct during a team event. While specific details remain under investigation, sources suggest that the incidents involved violations of team protocols and conduct regulations.
Head coach Kenny Dillingham addressed the situation, expressing disappointment but emphasizing the importance of accountability:
“We hold all our student-athletes to the highest standards of behavior, and this type of conduct is unacceptable. We have taken appropriate action and will continue to educate and support our student-athletes to promote a culture of respect and inclusion,” Dillingham stated.
The suspensions come at a critical time for the Sun Devils, who are preparing for key matchups in the upcoming season. The absence of these experienced players is expected to impact the team’s performance and dynamics.
The university has launched an internal investigation to determine the full extent of the incidents and to ensure that all team members adhere to the established standards of conduct. Further details are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
