Obi Ezeh Sentenced to Probation

Starting middle linebacker Obi Ezeh was sentenced to one-year probation earlier this week for driving while visibly impaired. He also will have to spend three days in a jail work-release program as apart of his sentence.

The redshirt freshman linebacker had originally been charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated stemming from an incident in early July, but the charges were later amended to operating a vehicle while visibly impaired.

Roumel said the sentence was very fair, even a bit lenient. He added that the Ezeh had offered to deal with some of the issues on his own and that Creal didn’t see a need for further alcohol counseling.

I doubt this will have any effect on Ezeh's playing time as the situation probably was dealt with by coaches back in July when the incident first happened. Because of that, he should still be the starter tomorrow against Michigan State.
