Missouri linebacker arrested for DWI

Missouri linebacker Will Ebner was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. The junior middle linebacker was stopped by officers from the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, taken into custody at 2:15 a.m. and released on $500 bond.

Ebner, 20, has been recovering from a hamstring injury through most of preseason camp. He was Missouri’s third-leading tackler last season with 78 stops and began the preseason as the Tigers’ No. 2 middle linebacker, behind co-captain Luke Lambert.

The DWI arrest is the second to strike Missouri's football program this month. On Aug. 2, offensive line coach Bruce Walker was arrested outside the team facility on suspicion of operating his vehicle while intoxicated. Walker is still waiting to be officially charged by the city prosecutor. He's due in court for arraignment on Sept. 13, a city official said last week.

Stay tuned for more on Ebner’s status.

I think you just answered your own question.

My guess is some college kid got blasted and did what a lot of us did when we were young and in college...drove hom drunk. Terrible idea on so many levels to drive drunk and I hope he gets proper punishment.

I don't think there is some epidemic of player issues, seems to fairly tame compared to a a lot of schools.

A soon to be Big 12 North Championship is whats going on at Mizzou.

Missouri is trying to beat Illinois on two fronts: on the field and in the Fullmer Cup standings. You won't have a problem with the first, good luck with the second.

You mean in 2011, maybe right?

Nebraska will take that their last year in the league, unless something bizarre happens.

Well it's not shooting someone from a dorm window at least.

It will be interesting to see how Pinkel & company handle this being that Ebner is a starting LB.

Ebner wasn't scheduled to start.

Luke Lambert's been penciled in to the starting D, along with Xavier Gooden and Andrew Gachkar.

ArrowheadHawk · 08-23-2010, 10:47 AM

He should get together with Morningstar.

That's because he was recovering from a hamstring injury. He's the starter when healthy.
