**Georgia Tech Football Player David Shanahan Placed on Extended Leave for Breaking Team Rules**

 

Georgia Tech has announced that football player David Shanahan has been placed on extended leave due to a violation of team rules. The decision was made after a review of the circumstances surrounding the incident. Shanahan, a key player for the Yellow Jackets, will not participate in team activities or games for the foreseeable future.

 

The university has not disclosed specific details regarding the nature of the rule violation. In a statement, the athletic department emphasized its commitment to maintaining a disciplined and respectful environment within the team. “We hold our student-athletes to the highest standards of conduct,” said the department’s spokesperson. “David’s leave is a necessary step to address this situation and ensure that team rules are upheld.”

 

Shanahan, who has been a notable contributor to the team’s defensive line, will be missed during his absence. The coaching staff is expected to make adjustments to the lineup in his absence. The extended leave will also allow Shanahan to focus on addressing the issues that led to the disciplinary action.

 

The team is moving forward with preparations for their upcoming games, and the athletic department has declined further comment on the matter. The exact duration of Shanahan’s leave is yet to be determined and will be based on his adherence to the team’s conduct policies and any additional evaluations.

 

Georgia Tech fans and supporters are hopeful that Shanahan will use this time to reflect and return to the team with renewed focus and commitment.
