Durden acknowledged to having the substance in his room. He produced a clear bag of cannabis later weighed at 21.7 grams.
The school is aware of Durden’s arrest and is “in the process of collecting information,” a spokesperson told the Times.
In 2013, Durden started 11 games in the secondary for the Bulls.
