A Texas trooper who had an altercation with South Carolina’s Nyck Harbor after his touchdown on Saturday was sent home from the game, according to the state’s Department of Public Safety.
Harbor scored on an 80-yard reception in the second quarter and ran into the tunnel after the score. As he and three teammates were walking back to the field, the trooper walked in between Harbor and another player and bumped into them.
The trooper and Harbor turned around and the trooper pointed at Harbor and appeared to admonish the player. Harbor was quickly pushed away by a teammate and they made their way towards the field.
