Ohio State released a short statement Monday morning before Urban Meyer's weekly OSU football press conference concerning the status of redshirt freshman Torrance Gibson.
The statement reads in its entirety:
Ohio State red-shirt freshman wide receiver Torrance Gibson has been suspended from The Ohio State University for the 2016 fall semester for a violation of the University's student code of conduct.
The specifics of the circumstances surrounding his suspension were not made available.
While transitioning from highly touted high school prep quarterback to wide receiver, Gibson sat out his freshman season.
