Auburn guard Tahaad Pettiford, one of the early favorites for SEC Player of the Year next season, was arrested and charged with DUI last night.
Pettiford averaged 11.6 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game in 38 games for the Tigers last season.
“We are aware of the situation, and we will handle internally with Tahaad and his family,” Bruce Pearl said in a statement. “We take these matters seriously and will learn and grow from it moving forward.”
