Alabama State not only lost a SWAC East game to Florida A&M Saturday night at Bragg Memorial Stadium, but one player in particular lost his cool.
After video surfaced of a Hornets football player striking a stadium security guard on X early Sunday morning, ASU issued a statement that Jacob Freeman was suspended indefinitely.
Video footage shows Freeman yelling at Florida A&M fans as the security guard attempts to intervene. Freeman then strikes the guard in the face with his right hand.

“We are aware of the incident that occurred last night,” Alabama State athletic director Jason Cable said in the statement. “We do not condone the actions of the student-athlete, nor are the actions representative of the expectations set forth by the athletic department and our university.”
Thanks for correcting the player involved from the incorrect player being listed. However, I’m asking that you all take any mention of my sons name away from this article. If you google my sons name this incident still comes up as a result of your original report. Please remove it as you are impacting his name, image, and likeness.
We updated the story with the correct name.
