Texas A&M linebacker Steven Jenkins and defensive back Howard Matthews have each been suspended one game by coach Kevin Sumlin for violating a team policy.

Jenkins, a senior, had 61 tackles and a sack last season. Jenkins made six starts but appeared in 13 games.

As a freshman last year, Matthews played in 13 games as well, posting 28 tackles and a forced fumble.

After a 7-6 campaign that included a victory over Northwestern in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, the Aggies will be making their SEC debut this season and open the year Aug. 30 against Louisiana Tech.
