U South Carolina DB Jamel Cook ‘Suspended Indefinitely’ Following Friday Domestic Violence Arrest

COLUMBIA, SC. (THECOUNT) — Jamel Cook, a University of South Carolina defensive back, has been suspended indefinitely following a recent arrest on domestic violence charges, according to reports.

Records show, Cook was arrested Friday and released on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond, which means he doesn’t have to pay the money unless he violates the conditions of the bond.

Cook was ordered not to return to the incident location and to have any contact with the victim, reports WLTX.

Cook is a redshirt junior from Miami. He spent his first two seasons at Southern California, but transferred to South Carolina following the 2017 season. Due to NCAA transfer rules, he sat out the entire 2018 season.

Cook has played sparingly this season, and has just one recorded tackle.
