USC junior cornerback Jack Jones has been suspended for the season opener vs. UNLV for violating team rules, sources informed TrojanSports.com.
Discipline for the AP third-team All-American includes being held out of spring practice, in large part so he can focus on academics.
Jones was a full-time starter in 2017, leading USC with four interceptions. His absence will mean more reps for redshirt freshmen Greg Johnson and Je'Quari Godfrey, both of whom were limited by injuries last season.
Redshirt senior Jonathan Lockett, a 2016 starter at nickel who sat out all of 2017 to recuperate from hip surgeries, is also expected to see time at cornerback this spring.
