In addition to a one-game suspension, Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett will also lose his scholarship for a term as part of his discipline for his arrest during the bye week, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said Monday.
Meyer said he reviewed the facts from the citation for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and backing without safety. He was stopped at a Columbus police checkpoint early Saturday morning.
An Ohio State spokesman confirmed to ESPN that Barrett’s financial aid would be forfeited for the 2016 summer term.
Barrett, a redshirt sophomore, is scheduled for arraignment Friday for the misdemeanor charges, according to Franklin County records.
Barrett will be eligible to return for Ohio State’s road game at Illinois on Nov. 14, though Meyer offered no guarantee that he would reclaim his starting job moving forward.
