Indiana DT Darius Latham suspended indefinitely
Indiana will be without one of its top defensive players for the foreseeable future.
IU announced earlier this week that junior defensive tackle Darius Latham has been suspended indefinitely. According to the Indianapolis Star, the school said in a release that Latham cannot play “pending the resolution of a proceeding with Indiana University Office of Student Ethics.”
No specifics on what led to Latham’s suspension were included in the school’s release.
Latham already served a one-game suspension earlier in the season by sitting out the team’s opener against Southern Illinois. Despite missing a game, Latham leads the team with five tackles for loss. He also has 10 tackles and two sacks in three games played.

Latham had 26 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in 2014 and 22 tackles, three tackles for loss and two sacks in 2013.
The Hoosiers beat Wake Forest last weekend to improve to 4-0 on the season. The team hosts top-ranked Ohio State on Saturday.
