If a sizable percentage of X users have their way, University of Arkansas offensive lineman Fernando Carmona will be permanently banned from college football for what he did to an opposing player on Friday. .
The University of Arkansas defeated the Texas Tech Raiders 39-26 in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee. Texas Tech's C.J. Baskerville took Carmona to task on social media, claiming an altercation with the Razorback escalated into an ugly incident that resulted in Carmona intentionally stepping on his ankle with his 322-pound weight. .
In a captioned post to X, Baskerville told his version of events and called on Carmona to “do better.”
“There's no denying that Arkansas played a great game last night. I'm not going to take that away from them,” Baskerville wrote. “But it's just filthy when #55 Fernando Carmona blatantly steps on my ankle and pushes me down on purpose. He keeps saying, 'I've got your b**** a***.' . Do your best. ”
X users were quick to react, with many calling for a permanent ban on Carmona.
Carmona, a redshirt junior, is a transfer from San Jose State University. As a redshirt junior, he will be draft eligible this year. As of this writing, Carmona has not publicly responded to Baskerville's post.
