A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper was sent home from the Nov. 15, 2025, Texas A&M vs. South Carolina football game after an incident involving South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor following an 80-yard touchdown. Video showed the trooper making contact with Harbor and another player as they walked through a tunnel, then pointing at Harbor, prompting a teammate to intervene. The trooper was relieved of duty, and DPS confirmed its Office of Inspector General is investigating, with no further details released. The game ended in a 31-30 upset win for Texas A&M, the largest comeback in school history, but the trooper’s actions drew widespread social media attention and commentary.
