It doesn’t take an expert to realize that things haven’t quite gone according to plan for Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies this season. After signing a historically great recruiting class during the offseason, the Aggies have had a terribly disappointing 2022 college football season, winning just three games so far this season.

During yet another embarrassing loss on Saturday afternoon to the Auburn Tigers, one Texas A&M player was notably absent from the game as starting receiver Muhsin “Moose” Muhammad III did not play in the loss. And after the game, he revealed the absolutely shocking reason he didn’t see the field.

“I want to clear the air. I was benched for wearing arm sleeves—something that my teammates and opponents wear frequently for protection. I apologize to my teammates and fans and looking forward to getting back on the field. Much Love! #GigEm #AggieFootball,” Muhammad said in a Tweet early Sunday morning.

Muhammad has been one of the more productive receivers for the team this season, ranking second among the team’s wide receivers in both catches and receptions.

Jimbo Fisher has earned himself a lot of criticism this season, and benching one of his top receivers for such a trivial reason sure isn’t going to help.
