WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -Wake Forest has suspended safety Junior Petit-Jean (PET'-it jeen) for the rest of the season.

School officials said Wednesday they suspended the redshirt sophomore for violating undisclosed team rules.

Petit-Jean is a native of Naples, Fla., who was listed as the backup to Alex Frye at free safety. He had four tackles through three games for the Demon Deacons (2-1), who open Atlantic Coast Conference play this weekend at Boston College.
