Leading rusher Marvin Kinsey has been "suspended indefinitely” from Colorado State’s football team, coach Mike Bobo said Tuesday.

Bobo declined to share any additional information about the disciplinary measure.

Kinsey, a senior from Atlanta, was averaging a Mountain West-best 100.4 rushing yards a game for the Rams (2-5, 1-2 MW), which ranks No. 22 nationally among players at the FBS level. He has run for 703 yards and six touchdowns on 121 carries this season and for 1,629 yards and 17 touchdowns in his CSU career.

“He’s a great player; he’s one of the leading rushers in the country,” quarterback Patrick O’Brien said. “It’s going to be hard to replace him, but I think we have guys that can get the job done, and I think we’ve got a good mix of them.”

Kinsey, a 6-foot-1, 206-pound running back, has fumbled seven times this season, has also played a big role in CSU’s passing game with 16 catches for 209 yards and two TDs. He has three career receiving yards.

The suspension is not the first for Kinsey, who was held out of the first half of the 2017 New Mexico Bowl and the 2018 season opener against Hawaii along with fellow running back Rashaad Boddie for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Junior Marcus McElroy is expected to fill Kinsey’s spot in the starting lineup Saturday night, when the Rams visit Fresno State (3-3, 1-1). Bobo said freshmen Jaylen Thomas and Christian Hunter will also see increased playing time.
