ECU defensive back Nealy suspended indefinitely
From an ECU media relations dispatch East Carolina will be without one of
its frontline soldiers when it marches into Army's Michie Stadium for a game
between winless teams.
ECU head coach John Thompson has suspended sophomore defensive back
Antonie Nealy, according to a Wednesday news release issued by the school's
athletic department.
Nealy, who has started all six games at free safety this season for the
Pirates, has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules, said
the news release, which noted that he is expected to be replaced in the
starting lineup by senior Richard Moton.
Nealy, a product of South Columbus High School, has accounted for 35
tackles this season, including a career-high 11 against Wake Forest, and has
had two pass breakups. He is the younger brother of current ECU starting
linebacker Kent Nealy.
The Pirates will play the Black Knights in a Conference USA game on
Saturday at 1 p.m. in West Point, NY.
