The Ole Miss Rebels and Texas Tech Red Raiders are set to kick off the 2018 season by meeting up in Houston on Saturday, Sept. 1, but Texas Tech will likely do so without a key player.

According to a report from Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, the Red Raiders’ projected starting running back is in trouble with the law.

Per Williams, Da’Leon Ward was arrested on Tuesday afternoon on felony charges of theft:

Ward missed most of the 2017 season with a leg injury, but ran for 428 yards and three touchdowns as a freshman in 2016.

He still hasn’t been officially ruled out for Week 1, but his status for the opener against the Rebels is definitely in doubt after Tuesday’s news.
