OK State RB Ollie Gordon faces DUI and speeding charges

Oklahoma State star Ollie Gordon II was arrested Sunday on suspicion of driving under the influence and speeding.

Authorities said Gordon, 20, was pulled over on Interstate 35 near Moore, Okla., after reaching speeds of 82 mph and repeatedly changing lanes.

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper detected “an odor associated with an alcoholic beverage” coming from the vehicle, the incident report said. Police also found two bottles of liquor in the vehicle.

Gordon was taken to Cleveland County Jail after a breath test showed a blood alcohol level of 0.11, which is above the legal limit for adults under 21. A second test while in custody also showed a blood alcohol level of 0.10.

An Oklahoma State spokesperson told reporters the university is aware of the situation, but did not provide further comment.

Gordon was the winner of the 2023 Doak Walker Award as the nation’s best running back. The All-American was also named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting after rushing for 1,732 yards and 21 touchdowns in 14 games.
