Junior Auburn Tigers defensive back Jonathon Mincy was ejected from the team's A-Day Game in the third quarter for a "targeting" hit on Dimitri Reese, which left the wide receiver shaken up on the field for a moment.
Jonathon Mincy ejected from Auburn spring game for ‘targeting’ hit

Entering 2013, the NCAA enacted a new rule, aimed to prevent headshots, which would eject any player flagged for a banned helmet-to-helmet hit.

Mincy ranked third among all Auburn defensive backs in tackles last year.

My friends in Auburn say cornerback Jonathan Mincy ejected. From a spring game! That's like getting kicked out of your own wedding.
