Ryan Finley, the favorite to start at quarterback in 2015 for Boise State, was arrested early Saturday morning, according to the Idaho Statesman.

Finley, a 20-year-old redshirt sophomore, was hit with two misdemeanor charges – minor in possession of an alcoholic beverage and resisting or obstructing officers. No other details of the incident have been reported.

Finley was Grant Hedrick’s primary backup as a redshirt freshman last season and completed 12-of-27 passes for 161 yards in five games. He also threw for two touchdowns and an interception.

He worked with the top offensive unit for most of the spring and started with the first team in the Broncos’ spring game.

According to the Statesman, Boise State is “aware of the incident and will follow the student conduct policy in accordance with the situation.”
