For the first time in nearly three years, it’s an Ohio State football player who has triggered a resetting of the “Days Without An Arrest” ticker.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Marcus Hooker was arrested in Neshannock Township, PA, earlier this month following a traffic stop. The true freshman OSU defensive back is facing one count each of driving under the influence, purchase of alcohol by a minor, disregarding traffic lanes, careless driving and having no rear lights as a result of the arrest.
No further details have been made available in the arrest of the 18-year-old Hooker, who is the younger brother of former Ohio State All-American Malik Hooker.
Additionally, the football program has yet to respond to the off-field development, at least publicly.
A three-star member of the Buckeyes’ 2018 recruiting class, Hooker was rated as the No. 60 cornerback in the country and the No. 20 player at any position in the state of Pennsylvania. Hooker has been on the OSU campus since earlier this month.
