LSU Safety AJ Haulcy Suspended for First Half of Clemson Game

A.J. Haulcy must serve a first-half suspension at LSU's season opener due to an NCAA rule applying to fighting ejections, affecting LSU's defensive lineup against Clemson.

  • Senior LSU safety A.J. Haulcy will miss the opening half of Saturday's matchup against Clemson at Memorial Stadium due to a suspension.
  • The suspension stems from Haulcy's ejection for fighting during Houston's final game last season, and the NCAA rules that suspensions carry over after transfers without appeal.
  • LSU coach Brian Kelly confirmed the ruling on his weekly radio show Thursday and said the team is working with the SEC, Big 12, and NCAA on the situation.
  • Last season with Houston, Haulcy tallied 74 tackles, intercepted five passes, and broke up 13 others; after transferring to LSU this offseason, he was expected to earn a starting safety role.
  • Haulcy's first-half suspension means LSU will be without one of their primary safeties during the early portion of their high-profile top-10 matchup at Clemson, prompting adjustments to the secondary lineup.
