3 Georgia Southern players suspended indefinitely

Three members of the Georgia Southern defense have been suspended indefinitely following arrests.

According to the Statesboro Herald, Ross Alexander and Kurt Oehlbeck were charged with “possession of a schedule I controlled substance and criminal trespass.” Additionally, Alexander Yost was charged with “criminal trespass and criminal attempt to commit a felony.”

The program announced their suspensions in a statement Thursday.

“They are suspended indefinitely until the conclusion of their legal process,” athletic director Tom Kleinlein said. “Their status on the team will be reevaluated after that time.”

Alexander, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound defensive end, played in six games as a true freshman in 2014 and registered three tackles. Oehlbeck, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound redshirt sophomore linebacker, played in two games last season and had two tackles. Yost, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound safety, did not appear in a game for the Eagles last season.
