Eighteen-year-old Edward Muldrow, a linebacker from Georgia set to enroll at the University of South Carolina in the fall, was arrested in Columbia, South Carolina for underage drinking and littering, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
South Carolina Freshman Edward Muldrow Arrested For Underage Drinking
Police said Muldrow was in the Five Points entertainment district last Thursday when an officer noticed him with a bottle of beer. Authorities say Muldrow tossed the bottle into the bushes when the officer asked him to come over.
Police say Muldrow gave the officer his name, and was charged with underage drinking and littering.
Under university policy, athletes who are arrested are immediately suspended.
The AP reached out to Muldrow to see if he’d hired an attorney, but they couldn’t reach him. Since it’s a relatively minor offense, it seems like there’s not much to dispute.
The immediate ramifications for the Gamecocks are slim to none. Chances are, Muldrow, who’s 6-3, 188 lbs., won’t have had an impact this year. Scout.com gave him a three-star ranking, and he’s too light to do damage as a linebacker in the SEC. Any suspension he would receive would affect his practice participation, not the product on the field on Saturdays.
