According to the University of Iowa Athletic Department, football student-athlete Nick Wilson was cited on Saturday night by Iowa City law enforcement. Wilson is a redshirt freshman.
However, according to the release, he’s not among the 105 players, who are taking part in preseason camp. It’s not clear why he’s not participating when the release said he was a football student-athlete.
He redshirted last season after graduating from West Des Moines Dowling High School.

Officials in the Athletic Department are gathering facts from the incident and will not have another comment until the investigation is complete. He’s still subject to the university protocol regarding the UI student life code of conduct.
He also has to go through the team rules and regulations set by members of the football team, the school said.
According to Marc Morehouse, Wilson was charged with an OWI and driving with a suspended license.
He was supposed to be the third outside linebacker on the depth chart.
With this incident, he may be punished by head coach Kirk Ferentz moving forward. He could potentially be suspended for the team’s season-opener on September 3rd against the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.

One week later, the team plays the North Dakota State Bison in a non-conference game in Iowa.
