LSU wide receiver Russell Shepard has been declared ineligible for violation of an NCAA rule. The school says it will seek reinstatement for Shepard, but he is expected to miss a number of games until it can be considered by the NCAA. Shepard has been found by the NCAA and LSU to be in violation of Bylaw 32.1.4 after he was determined to have discussed an inquiry with a teammate, who was scheduled to meet with a representative, and his actions were deemed to have violated protocol. Shepard, a junior from Houston, can continue to practice with the team. No timeline has been determined for the reinstatement process. LSU opens the season on Sept. 3 against Oregon in Arlington, Texas.
