Texas Tech offensive lineman Brandon Carter, the day after a frustrating last-minute loss at No. 17 Houston, has been suspended indefinitely by head coach Mike Leach, an athletic department spokesman said Sunday evening.
‘‘Brandon Carter has been suspended for a violation of team policy by coach Leach,” said Blayne Beal, Tech associate media relations director. ”His suspension is indefinite.’’
Beal said Leach would have no further comment.
A few hours before, Carter had told followers of his social networking account that he’d been suspended and stripped of his captaincy.
A Sunday afternoon dispatch on Carter’s Twitter account said, “I am not a captain anymore and will not be playing this week. Good luck red raiders ill still be cheering on my family from the stands!!:)”
Tech hosts New Mexico at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.
