Ohio State Tight End Jake Stoneburner And Offensive Lineman Jack Mewhort Suspended

Not a good look
More bad news for Jake Stoneburner and Jack Mewhort, as it was announced yesterday that both are suspended from the football team indefinitely. 

While this doesn't tell us how long they could be gone, the task at hand for these guys is to get back into good graces with Urban Meyer. 

Coming into this season, both Mewhort and Stoneburner are looked up to by many as a part of the leadership role in the senior class. What they did wasn't completely terrible, but there do have to be consequences. If it's a game or a couple of weeks away from the team, they're going to have to learn from this moment and be able to look past it and move on.

Here's the rest from the Dispatch:

"The attorney for Ohio State football players Jake Stoneburner and Jack Mewhort told The Dispatch last night that coach Urban Meyer has suspended his clients pending the outcome of their legal problems.

Stoneburner and Mewhort were charged by Shawnee Hills police with obstructing official business, a second-degree misdemeanor.

The two, along with Austin Barnard, who is not a football player, allegedly were caught urinating between buildings near the Bogey Inn about 1:30 a.m. Saturday while walking back to Stoneburner’s family home at Muirfield Village, site of the Memorial Tournament.

All three allegedly ran when first confronted by a police officer shining a flashlight in their direction, but Stoneburner and Mewhort reportedly stopped soon afterward.

He said the two players are “not upset. They’re just kind of trying to remain low-key and focused. Both are 100 percent focused to get this behind them.”

Stoneburner is a senior tight end from Dublin and Mewhort a junior offensive lineman from Toledo.
