The status of Auburn football star Jarquez Hunter is still unknown with the start of the season a month and a half away. It's been two months since an alleged sex tape that appeared to feature Jarquez Hunter was made public. Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze offered little clarity on whether or not Hunter would be available for fall camp.

“I can’t comment on University policies or procedures,” Freeze said on SEC Media Day when asked about Hunter, via AL.com.

A few days after the alleged sex tape was released, the school indicated that at least one Auburn football player had been suspended. The school didn't mention any players by name and said that the matter was being looked into. When asked about possible player suspensions at media day, Freeze declined to comment.
