Notre Dame’s not the only Power Five program that woke up this morning with players on the wrong side of the law.
According to Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle, Josh Walker was arrested late Friday night as the result of an incident involving a family member. The Texas A&M junior linebacker was still being held in the Brazos County Detention Center on charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member and interfering with emergency requested for assistance.
