Oklahoma State running back and Doak Walker Award winner Ollie Gordon II was arrested Sunday morning for suspicion of driving under the influence, police said.
A state trooper in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, reported seeing Gordon swerving in his black 2024 Cadillac. The vehicle was clocked at 82 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone, according to a probable cause affidavit.
The trooper pulled the vehicle over, smelled alcohol and found half-full bottles of vodka and tequila inside of it, according to the affidavit.
Gordon, 20, was arrested and registered breath alcohol content levels of 0.11 and 0.10 at the Cleveland County jail.
The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office said Gordon posted bond and was released on Sunday.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Gordon had an attorney.
Gordon ran for 1,732 yards and 21 touchdowns last season. He won the Doak Walker Award for the nation’s best running back, finished seventh in the Heisman voting and was a first-team Associated Press All-American. He was named Tuesday as the Big 12’s preseason offensive player of the year.
An Oklahoma State spokesman said the school is aware of the situation.

Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II, the Doak Walker Award recipient, was arrested for suspected driving under the influence on Sunday morning, as reported by authorities. A state trooper in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, observed Gordon driving his 2024 black Cadillac erratically, with the vehicle exceeding the speed limit at 82 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone, as stated in a probable cause affidavit.
Upon pulling Gordon over, the trooper detected the scent of alcohol and discovered half-full bottles of vodka and tequila inside the car, according to the same affidavit. Gordon, aged 20, was taken into custody and recorded a breath alcohol content of 0.11 and 0.10 at the Cleveland County jail. He was subsequently released on bond.
It remains unclear whether Gordon has legal representation at this time. Last season, Gordon achieved significant success on the field, rushing for 1,732 yards and scoring 21 touchdowns. He was recognized with the Doak Walker Award, placed seventh in Heisman voting, and was honored as a first-team All-American by the Associated Press. The Big 12 recently named him the preseason offensive player of the year.
An Oklahoma State spokesperson acknowledged being informed about the situation.
