Iowa State tight end Kurt Hammerschmidt was arrested very early Monday morning by university police, the Ames Daily Tribune is reporting.
Hammerschmidt was charged with what the paper called “operating under the influence”. It’s unclear what type of surgical procedure the TE was attempting to perform at the time of his arrest.
Head coach Paul Rhoads has suspended Hammerschmidt indefinitely, although the school would only say that the suspension was the result of a violation of team rules.
The redshirt freshman made his collegiate debut over the weekend, but was held without a reception.
