Ohio State suspended redshirt freshman quarterback Jack Miller III following a reported arrest Friday morning.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol arrested Miller and charged him with operating a vehicle while impaired, according to a statement from the Department of Athletics. Miller has since been released from custody and will be expected to appear in court.

Miller, a former four-star recruit from the class of 2020, joined Ohio State a season ago, playing in two games with one touchdown. He’s played in four games in 2021, splitting duties as a backup with freshman Kyle McCord.

The full statement from the Ohio State Department of Athletics is below:

“Ohio State University student-athlete Jack Miller was arrested by Ohio State Highway Patrol officers Friday morning and charged with operating a vehicle while impaired. Miller was released from custody and issued a summons to appear in court from the OVI. He has been suspended from the football team.”

Marching band members reflect on their time with “The Best Damn Band in the Land”

Blake Hassay, a fourth-year in hospitality management, and Nick Schnitzspahn, a second-year in trumpet performance and strategic communications, are just two of the band’s many members who dedicated several years to practicing their craft — long before becoming Buckeyes — in preparation for auditions. Schnitzspahn said TBDBITL is a legacy in his family and his interest in trying out was no coincidence.
