KNOXVILLE — University of Tennessee lineman Charles Mosley was arrested early Wednesday morning on charges of driving under the influence and speeding.
According to the incident report from the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the 18-year-old redshirt freshman was pulled over on Interstate 40 in Knox County shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday morning because he was driving 79 mph in a 55-mph zone on his way back to campus from an Econo Lodge on Lovell Road in West Knoxville.
The 6-foot-5, 370-pound Mosley, a former four-star recruit out of Brighton in western Tennessee, did not play last season while recovering from a broken leg suffered in a car accident in July 2014.
His punishment for Wednesday morning’s incident is unclear, though the Volunteers released a statement through program spokesman Jason Yellin regarding the incident later Wednesday night.
“We are aware of the situation and at this point in time are in the process of gathering all of the facts and information,” Yellin wrote in a text message.
