Oglesby said he had a confrontation with teammate Kam Prewitt, a freshman defensive back, before the shooting Tuesday. Both players were suspended indefinitely while police investigate the incident, per the Associated Press.ย
Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen released a statement regarding the incident, per Schad.
"We are aware of the incident involving two student-athletes on the University of Memphis campus yesterday and are cooperating fully with the investigation," he said. "All student-athletes are subject to the University of Memphis Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities, as well as University and athletic department policies."
In nine appearances, Oglesby had 20 receptions for 167 yards and a touchdown in his freshman season, but he has played a smaller role in the passing game this year, catching five passes for 46 yards in five games.
Prewitt redshirted as a true freshman in 2015 and has yet to make his 2016 debut.
