Missouri suspends QB Maty Mauk after video of possible drug use

riggertMissouriThe University of Missouri has suspended quarterback Maty Mauk for the third time in four months as a video surfaced late Monday night on Twitter.

The video shows a male who appears to be Mauk bending over a table and snorting a white substance.

Athletics Director Mack Rhoades and football coach Barry Odom released a joint statement shortly after the video went viral: “We are currently gathering information regarding the video in question. This is an issue we take very seriously and one that will not be tolerated within our program. We will take appropriate action once we have all the facts. In the interim, Maty Mauk has been indefinitely suspended from the Mizzou football program.”

Mauk was suspended for four games during the 2015 regular season for violating undisclosed team rules.  He was reinstated and shortly after was suspended for the final four games of the season.

After Odom was hired to replace head coach Gary Pinkel, he reinstated Mauk on December 23rd and cleared him to rejoin team activities.

Mauk, who will be a redshirt senior in 2016, led Missouri to back-to-back SEC East titles in 2013 and 2014 before his suspensions last season.  In 28 career games, he’s completed 52.7 percent of his passes, with 42 touchdowns and 19 interceptions.
