Tennessee RB Jalen Hurd arrested for underage drinking
Tennessee RB Jalen Hurd was arrested shortly after the regular season ended for underage drinking.
Hurd and another male were arrested on Dec. 3 by University of Tennessee police. One was unconscious according to the police report, though it's unclear who was.
Hurd, 18, and Hunter Rivait, who is listed as a student in a university student directory, were arrested by citation on Dec. 3 after police spotted a car with its lights on in a university dorm parking garage. Police found an unconscious male inside.
The initial University of Tennessee police report does not identify the unconscious male, who was later transported to a hospital.
The case was referred to Knox County officials for prosecution, a University of Tennessee weekly crime log noted.
Both were charged with underage consumption of alcoholic beverages. While Rivalt entered his plea on Wednesday, Hurd is not scheduled to be booked until Jan. 20, long after Tennessee's bowl game against Iowa. Per the The Tennesseean, a UT football spokesperson didn't comment about any disciplinary action towards Hurd.
Hurd was Tennessee's leading rusher in 2014. He had 777 yards, nearly 400 more than Tennessee's second-leading rusher, and three touchdowns. He'll have competition for the posiition in 2014 after the Vols signed former four-star RB Alvin Kamara this week. Kamara played in 2014 at Hutchinson Community College.
