Oklahoma may be off this weekend, but at least one member of the Sooners is still making headlines.
According to The Oklahoman, Calum Sutherland was arrested early Saturday morning by Cleveland County (Okla.) Sheriff’s Department officers on a public intoxication charge. The kicker was booked into the country jail at 4:46 local time.
No details of what led to the arrest have been released. Additionally, the football program has yet to publicly comment on the off-field development.
The 19-year-old sophomore walk-on is in his first season as Oklahoma’s primary kicker after beating out Gabe Brkic for the starting job vacated by Austin Seibert, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. In three games this season, Sutherland has connected on all 23 extra-point attempts and two of his four field-goal tries. Both of those makes came in the Week 3 drubbing of UCLA.
No. 5 OU returns to the field in Week 5 as it hosts Texas Tech in Norman in the Big 12 opener for both schools.
