Beamer Suspends Stewart Indefinitely Amidst South Carolina’s Crisis
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer indefinitely suspended star edge rusher Dylan Stewart following an on-field altercation and sideline confrontation during a 49-18 loss to Alabama. Stewart, a projected top-10 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, punched an Alabama tight end and argued with coaches, leading to a suspension that will keep him out of the upcoming game against Kentucky. Beamer emphasized that the decision was based on broader conduct issues, not just the punch, and indicated a final decision on Stewart's future with the program would be made within days. The suspension adds to the pressure on Beamer, who is facing scrutiny over his job security after a 2-2 start and a winless SEC record.
