In the midst of a difficult stretch for the Colorado Buffaloes, we heard some positive news on Monday in regards to currently suspended wide receiver La’Vontae Shenault. Karl Dorrell announced that the second-year freshman was indefinitely suspended back on Sept. 13.
Shenault, who is the younger brother of former CU wide receiver and current Jacksonville Jaguar Laviska Shenault Jr., caught two passes for 23 yards in the season opener against Northern Colorado. He has not seen the field since then.

Dorrell was asked about Shenault on Monday and shared that he will soon be able to be reactivated.
“He is doing the steps that he should be doing given his suspension,” Dorrell said. “He’s had a couple of things that have happened since the suspension, and his mind is in the right place and he’s trying to do all the right things.”
If Shenault can return soon, he should provide a major spark of life to a currently struggling offensive unit.
