Texas trooper sent home after confronting South Carolina player during game | College football
A Texas trooper who got into an altercation with South Carolina’s Nyck Harbor after his touchdown Saturday was removed from the game, according to the state Department of Public Safety.
Harbor scored on an 80-yard reception in the second quarter and ran down the tunnel after the score. As he and three teammates returned to the field, the soldier slipped between Harbor and another player and collided with them.
The soldier and Harbor turned around and the soldier pointed at Harbor and appeared to berate the player. Harbor was quickly pushed away by a teammate and they headed onto the field.
