Davon Durant Suspended by ASU After Arrest for Alleged Domestic Violence

Arizona State has suspended linebacker Davon Durant, a highly touted junior college transfer due to make his debut with the school in 2015, indefinitely after an arrest on allegations of domestic violence.   

AZCentral.com (h/t CBSSports.com's Jerry Hinnen) reported on Durant's suspension, which stems from an alleged incident that occurred on March 7. He is slated to have a preliminary hearing this Wednesday.

According to a report from TMZ.com on Monday, Durant was arrested earlier this month on a felony aggravated assault charge. The TMZ report provided more specific details of the incident:

"

Cops responded to the scene...where the woman told police she was having an argument with Durant in a black Chevy Tahoe -- when he demanded they she escort him up to her apartment so he could get his stuff (it sounds like they were breaking up).

The woman says she refused to let him inside...and he freaked out -- "hit her one time in the face and then grabbed her around the neck."

"

Doug Haller of AZCentral.com mentioned the protocol that led to Durant's suspension even with due process still to play out:

The Sun Devils finished 81st in total defense this last season (h/t NCAA.com) and could have used an infusion of talent from someone like Durant to give that side of the ball a spark.

Durant is rated as a 4-star recruit, the No. 6 junior college prospect in the country and the top-rated inside linebacker from the 2015 class by 247Sports' composite rankings. This hype had Durant penciled in for a starting role, but now his future with the program in Tempe is in question.
