Sean White did not play in No. 15 Auburn’s 24-10 win over Mercer Saturday, but celebrated Saturday night all the same.
Auburn police arrested him at 2:45 a.m. on Sunday for public intoxication, according to Auburn police assistant chief William Matthews.
“Coach (Gus) Malzahn is aware of the situation,” an Auburn spokesman told AL.com. “He is gathering all the facts and will handle this appropriately.”
A junior from Boca Raton, Fla., White had just returned from a 2-game suspension for unspecified reasons. He has not played yet this season but owns 18 career appearances and 16 starts for the Tigers. He started 10 games last fall, leading the SEC in completion percentage and ranking fourth in the conference with a 143.1 efficiency rating. He closed the year by breaking his arm in a Sugar Bowl loss to Oklahoma, then lost the starting job to Jarrett Stidham over the offseason.
