Former Northside standout Tae Daley suspended at Vanderbilt

Former Northside standout Tae Daley and two teammates were suspended indefinitely by Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason on Wednesday night.

The three players were involved in an incident that resulted in two of them being shot. Mason announced Wednesday that the three players have been suspended “from all football activities.”

According to the Associated Press, Nashville police said Daley suffered a noncritical gunshot wound to his leg and Frank Coppet suffered noncritical birdshot wounds to his arms Monday night as they tried to recover Donaven Tennyson’s cellphone, which he said was stolen after he tried to sell it during a meeting with a prospective buyer.

Police said the three players had a pellet pistol, but a man pulled up next to them in a Buick, got out and shot at the three players with an actual pistol. Police said another man in the Buick fired a shotgun at the players.

Daley is a freshman with the Commodores. He was senior captain for the Northside in 2016 and a three-year starter with the Eagles. As a senior with the Eagles, Daley had five interceptions and 84 tackles.
