UL Ragin’ Cajuns head football coach Mark Hudspeth has apologized to the university community and fans after he placed 13 football players on indefinite suspension following their arrest on a theft charge. Multiple press accounts report that surveillance video captured the group — identified as Matthew Barnes, Joe Dillon, Robert Hunt, Denarius Howard, Jarvis Jeffries, LaDarrius Kidd, Terik Miller, Damar’ren Mitchell, Trey Ragas, Simeon Thomas, Levarious Varnado, D’Aquin Withrow and Jordan Wright — entering a fourth-floor dorm room in Huger Hall on campus and exiting with $2,400 worth of personal items.
The university declined to comment on the case, saying it is “being respectful of the judicial process.”
