A year and a half after transferring to USF, Chris Dunkley (pictured, No. 1) is finally making headlines for the Big East school, albeit for very much the wrong reason.
According to Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times, the wide receiver was arrested Saturday night and charged domestic violence battery. The misdemeanor count came just a couple of hours after the Bulls’ home loss to Florida State.
No details of what led to the on-campus arrest have been released. Dunkley remained jailed this morning after being booked by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office at just before 2 a.m. ET.
Dunkley was one of two Florida wide receivers to announce in mid-April of last year that they were transferring from the Gators. The former four-star recruit then landed at USF a month later.
After sitting out the 2011 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules, Dunkley has four receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown this season.
