JUST IN: Arkansas Razorbacks LB Brooks Both Suspended Indefinitely from the Team as He Was Found… Full Details (Fox Sports News)

In a shocking development that has left the Arkansas Razorbacks’ defense in turmoil, linebacker Brooks Both has been suspended indefinitely from the team, following an internal investigation that revealed a serious violation of team rules. Fox Sports News has learned that the suspension is tied to an off-field incident, though the specific details remain unclear.

According to sources close to the situation, Both, who has been a standout linebacker for the Razorbacks since his freshman year, was found to have engaged in actions that breached the university’s code of conduct. While the school has remained tight-lipped about the exact nature of the violation, it is believed to be related to behavior that contradicts the program’s expectations for student-athletes both on and off the field.

“Brooks is a talented player, but we have strict standards at Arkansas,” said an unnamed official within the football program. “This decision wasn’t taken lightly. The situation is still under review, but we have to ensure accountability across all aspects of our program.”

The timing of the suspension is especially concerning, as Both had been playing at an elite level and was seen as one of the cornerstones of Arkansas’ defense for the upcoming season. The Razorbacks, coming off a tough 2024 campaign, were looking to build around a defensive unit that included Both’s leadership and prowess at linebacker.

Both, who had 102 total tackles and 5 sacks last season, quickly became one of the team’s top defensive playmakers and was expected to be a key figure in their plans for 2025. His absence now leaves a significant void in the Razorbacks’ linebacker corps, which will need to adjust with spring practices on the horizon.

Players and coaches were informed of the suspension during a private team meeting, with head coach Elijah Robinson expected to address the media later this week. Both has yet to release a public statement, but sources close to the player say he is “deeply regretful” and “fully committed to working through the issue.”

Fans and analysts have already begun speculating about the future of Both with the team, with some wondering if the suspension could lead to further disciplinary actions or even an eventual dismissal. However, others argue that the suspension is a reminder that even the most talented athletes must be held to the highest standards.

As of now, no legal charges have been filed, and the university has emphasized that the matter will be handled internally. The Razorbacks now face an uncertain period as they prepare for the upcoming season without one of their most valuable players.
