“We handled that internally,” Elko said. “He was suspended immediately, and now it’s under internal review. We’ll kind of go from there.”

Shanahan, 20, reportedly identified himself as “Michael Shanahan” with a birthdate of July 8, 1998, which would make him 26 years old. The redshirt freshman was reportedly in the Northgate bar district in College Station and was holding two Simply Spiked lemonade drinks when local police made contact with the Aggies lineman.

The incident occured in the hours after Texas A&M’s first win of the season, a 52-10 routing of McNeese during Week 2. The Aggies rushed for 333 yards as the Texas A&M offensive line dominated its opposition. The offense didn’t turn the ball over once on its way to compiling 529 yards from scrimmage.

It’s unclear as of this report how long Shanahan’s suspension will last.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Shanahan was a four-star recruit out of Orlando (Fla.) and played at Westlake (Texas), according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 32 overall prospect in Texas, the No. 11 interior offensive lineman in the class and the No. 169 overall prospect in the class.

“I just love Texas A&M,” Shanahan told On3 at the time of his commitment. “Everything about College Station intrigues me. Coach Fisher and Coach Addazio are two of the best coaches in the nation and playing for guys like that is going to be real special.”

Mike Elko and company will move ahead with its schedule with Shanahan sidelined as Texas A&M prepares for its SEC opener on the road against Florida. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET live from The Swamp on ABC and ESPN+.
