Texas A&M police removed a Texas state trooper from his game assignment following an incident in which he made physical contact with two South Carolina players during Saturday’s game.
In the second quarter, Gamecocks receiver Nyck Harbor took a catch 80 yards for a touchdown and ran through the end zone and up Kyle Field’s northeast tunnel. On his way back to the field with teammates, a state trooper going up the tunnel bumped shoulders with the South Carolina players, then pointed his finger at Harbor and appeared to say something to the players.

The Texas A&M police X account later Saturday wrote, “We are aware of the incident in the NE tunnel involving a DPS trooper. He has been relieved of his game day assignment.”

When contacted for comment, the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed that the trooper had been sent home and added that “DPS’ Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter.”
The incident did not go unnoticed to viewers, and even NBA star LeBron James tweeted that it was “corny AF.”
