COLLEGE STATION- When the initial Texas A&M depth chart was released, returning starter Debione Renfro was not among those listed. When asked by reporters of his status, A&M coach Jimbo Fisher said he had been suspended for a violation of team rules.

Now as the Aggies prepare to face off against No.1 Clemson this upcoming weekend, there still is no sign of the cornerback on the depth chart. What many thought was to be a one-game suspension will now translate over into Saturday's matchup. 

"Renfro will not play this game," Fisher said Monday at his press conference. "He will be suspended one more game."

Junior cornerback Charles Oliver was listed as the starter for the Aggies defense last week against Texas State. He'll likely get the call to start again in Memorial Stadium. Former junior college transfer Elijah Blades saw significant snaps against the Bobcats and could see his role expand. 

The 6-foot-2 defender was named the nation's top junior college cornerback according to 24/7 Sports. 

The Aggies will take on Clemson on Saturday, September 7 at 2:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
