Stewart Suspended Indefinitely by South Carolina

South Carolina star pass rusher Dylan Stewart has been suspended indefinitely by head coach Shane Beamer after throwing punches at Alabama's Josh Ford during Saturday's game.

Stewart avoided ejection during the game as officials missed the incident live, but the SEC and South Carolina later confirmed the punches through video review and issued a joint one-game suspension. Beamer then suspended Stewart indefinitely, though the player has not been permanently dismissed from the program.

The projected top-10 2027 NFL Draft pick has impressive career stats with 57 tackles, 11 sacks, and six forced fumbles. His absence comes as South Carolina sits at 2-2 overall and 0-2 in SEC play. Beamer declined to provide a timeline for Stewart's potential return, stating only that his future role with the team will be decided by the coach. truewildslot.com
