Oklahoma State Cowboys linebacker Brendan Vaughn has been arrested on a felony gun charge. The O’Colly, Oklahoma State’s student newspaper, was the first to report the news.

Reportedly, he was arrested Saturday on charges of possession of a controlled and dangerous substance with intent to distribute within 2,000 feet of a school and possession of drug paraphernalia.

For what it is worth, it is that first charge that is a felony. The second is a misdemeanor. Both charges are a direct result from police finding large amounts of marijuana and cash in Brendan Vaughn's dorm room.

While the exact amount wasn't listed in the police report, at least $2,000 in cash was also found.

According to Tulsa World, an Oklahoma State football spokesman did the usual circling of the wagons. The spokesman said the program is aware of the situation but had no further comment at this time. Given the fact that one of the charges is a felony, it would seem likely that school policy would dictate an immediate and indefinite suspension for the true freshman.

Obviously, there's innocent until proven guilty. The interesting aspect to this, outside of the player's potential issues with the law, is to see how the university handles this.

A three-star member of the Cowboys’ 2017 recruiting class, Vaughn was rated as the No. 52 outside linebacker in the country.

This incident is unlikely to alter the on-the-field product for the Cowboys this season. Vaughn was expected to redshirt this season prior to the arrest.

When/if more information becomes available, we will keep you posted.
