Troy has suspended senior center Kyle Wilborn for the first half of the Florida International game on Saturday.

In a release by the Troy athletics department, Troy Chancellor Jack Hawkins Jr., explained the reason for the suspension.

“Troy University is commited to preserving good sportsmanship in order to protect the integrity of the game of football and the well-being of those who play this great game,” he said. “Kyle Wilborn, who is one of our team leaders and an outstanding student-athlete, had a brief lapse of judgement in last Thurday’s game and committed a dead ball personal foul. After extensive discussion with our football staff, university administration and Sun Belt Conference representatives, we have decided to suspend Kyle for the first half of Saturday’s game against FIU.”
