The team announced the suspension on Monday and didn't give any specifics about the team rule that Sousa broke. Sousa, who moved from wide receiver to QB before the season, is not listed on the two-deep roster at DeaconsIllustrated.com.
According to Blogger So Dear, Sousa, a redshirt junior, was charged with DWI and had his license revoked for a traffic incident. The school did not comment further. According to the North Carolina court system directory, Sousa's court date is set for October 14.
Here's what an eyewitness told BSD about Sousa's alleged incident.
An eye-witness to the incident told Blogger So Dear that late Saturday night, Sousa was seen driving his vehicle onto the upper quad. He entered the quad by removing the black gate between the Kitchin and Poteat dormitories, before driving across the quad to the Subway located on campus. The eye-witness stated, "He was not driving recklessly, rather, he just coasted up on the sidewalk to the Subway and got out. It's not like students were sprinting to get out of the way. Sousa was then chased down by several Wake Forest police officers, before being turned over to the Winston-Salem police."
Per the Wake Forest student handbook, a DWI offense includes a $125 fine, 30 hours of community service and possible other sanctions.
Sousa was a three-star QB in the class of 2011 and the No. 23 dual-threat QB in the country according to Rivals.
