COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State wide receiver Torrance Gibson has been suspended for the season due to a violation of the schools student code of conduct, a punishment that Urban Meyer made clear he does not agree with heading into the teams season opener on Saturday.It was not from the athletic department or football, Meyer said during his weekly news conference Monday. I disagree with it.Meyer didnt provide any details on what transpired or what, if anything, could be done about it given his opposition to the discipline. Ohio State has not commented on the nature of the violation.On Tuesday, on the Big Ten teleconference, Meyer said he doesnt believe that Gibson will transfer despite the suspension.This all just kind of happened in the last week, so were still dealing with it, Meyer said. I have had zero indication that he wants to leave. His focus is to be the best Buckeye he can possibly be.Once among the nations most coveted recruits at quarterback, Gibson shifted positions after arriving on campus last year for the Buckeyes due to a logjam on the depth chart. His dynamic athleticism and size suited wide receiver.But the transition hasnt been smooth on the field or off. The position change has given Gibson troubles at times, and he was suspended for a game during his redshirt season a year ago.The hype that surrounded his recruitment was re-energized during practices in April when Gibson capped off a productive month with six catches for 50 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the spring game. Meyer confirmed that Gibson was in the mix for a role with the Buckeyes this fall.I would anticipate hes going to contribute this year, but I dont know that, wide receivers coach Zach Smith said earlier this month. Hes going to have to go earn it and come along where we say were comfortable putting him in the game and know he can perform to the standard that our unit is expected to have and demands.But as far as his ceiling, hes as talented as anybody Ive been around. The ceiling is extremely high. Manchester City Jerseys . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Mike Evans has reversed course on his decision to protest the national anthem as long as Donald Trump is president-elect and will stand with his Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates, opting to find what he calls more effective ways to communicate his message.In a statement released Tuesday to ESPNs Josina Anderson and the Tampa Bay Times, Evans apologized to the military and anyone else offended by his actions Sunday, when he sat during the national anthem before the Buccaneers game against the Chicago Bears.I want to start by apologizing to all the U.S. military members, their families, and the fans who I offended by my actions on Sunday, Evans said in the statement. It was never my intention as I have tremendous respect for the men and women who serve our country.I have very strong emotions regarding some of the many issues that exist in our society today. I chose to sit as an expression of my frustration towards this years election. It was very personal for me, as it was for so many Americans.With that being said, I will not sit again during the National Anthem because I want to focus my efforts on finding more effective ways to communicate my message and bring about change by supporting organizations and movements that fight for equal rights for minorities.This Sunday, I wwill be back to standing with my teammates.ddddddddddddsked to clarify Evans definition of the word minorities, the receivers agent, Deryk Gilmore, said it includes people of color, women, LGBT ...?Evans protested the anthem during the Bucs annual Salute to Service game that honors active-duty and reserve military, retired and veteran service members. The star wide receiver also posted in an Instagram comment last week that he did not vote in the Nov. 8 presidential election.Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter said Monday that he was disappointed with Evans decision to sit because of what the anthem stands for.Yeah, Im disappointed for that, said Koetter, who has had his team practice lining up for the national anthem before. I also respect Mikes freedom of speech and freedom of expression.Evans previously has said that he meant no disrespect to the military. Tampa is home to MacDill Air Force Base and 12,000 active service members.I dont want to disrespect the veterans or anything, Evans said Sunday. The men and women that served this country -- Im forever indebted to them. But the things that have been going on in America lately, Im not going to stand for that. ' ' '
