Texas A&M freshman WR Micah Tease suspended indefinitely after drug arrest

Texas A&M will be without one of its freshman receivers for its season opener after he was arrested Friday.

Freshman wideout Micah Tease was arrested by Texas A&M University Police and charged with possession of a controlled substance and a possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, according to Brazos County Jail online records. He was later released on bail after a $13,000 bond for both charges.

Tease will not appear in the Aggies' first game of the 2023 season against New Mexico on Saturday night, the athletic department confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. Tease is suspended indefinitely per department policy.

Coming out of Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tease was a four-star recruit for the Aggies, according to 247 Sports. Tease was expected to see playing time for Texas A&M this season alongside Raymond Cottrell.

"They're physical," head coach Jimbo Fisher said after the team's spring game. "They're willing to block and do things. They're going to be special teams players. Those guys have really come on, in my opinion, and surged." 

Texas A&M will kickoff against New Mexico at 7 p.m. ET.
