Earlier this month, Tennessee freshman running back Jalen Hurd was arrested for underage drinking with another student on Dec. 3rd. Per the Tennessean.com:

Rivait (student) was charged with underage consumption of alcoholic beverages, a misdemeanor. His age is unknown. He appeared in a Knox County court on Wednesday to formally be read his charges. Rivait did not enter a plea.

Hurd is scheduled to be booked and arraigned on the same charges on Jan. 20, according to a Knox County database of criminal cases reviewed Wednesday evening.

A spokesman for the football team refused to comment on whether Hurd, a freshman, faces internal discipline over the incident.

The University of Tennessee police report also included a weapon:

The report also noted a weapon was involved. University police on Wednesday identified it as an airsoft gun. A full report of the incident will not be released until the case is closed or adjudicated, according to a spokesman for the University of Tennessee Police Department.

Hurd, who is listed as the team starting running back, rushed for 777 yards and 3 TD's this season. It is unknown whether this latest news will keep him out of the TaxSlayer bowl against Iowa on Jan. 2nd.

Drinking age needs to be 18. If you're old enough to die for your country. You're old enough to drink a cold one. Kids are kids. There is not an overwhelming progression from 18-21 as far as wreckless goes. If anything when you hit 21 it's easier to get your hands on it on top of being more ballsy. Just stupid. We are one of the only countries who do this and look at us. shite economy. Completely falling short of the standards and laws set in front of us by the fathers. The people who run this country did the same shite, if not worse. JOKE
