Sophomore defensive end Ronnie Perkins, junior running back Rhamondre Stevenson and freshman wide receiver Trejan Bridges will be suspended for the Peach Bowl, according to SoonerScoop.com.
Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley was asked several times Wednesday about the potential suspensions and had no comment.
"I’m aware of the report that's out there," Riley said. "Unfortunately at this time, I can't comment on it.”

If Perkins, Stevenson and Bridges miss the College Football Playoff semifinal, this would be a significant blow to No. 4 Oklahoma's chances against No. 1 LSU on Dec. 28.
Perkins started in all 12 games this season for the Sooners, totaling 38 tackles, 13.5 for loss, and six sacks. Stevenson has played as the backup for most of the season for Oklahoma, carrying the ball 64 times for 515 yards and six touchdowns. Bridges has had limited time on the field, mostly playing special teams, but he has seven catches for 82 yards and two touchdowns.
Oklahoma is set to take on LSU at 3 p.m. CT Dec. 28 in Atlanta in the Peach Bowl.
