Auburn star Pettiford arrested on charge of DUI

Auburn star Tahaad Pettiford arrested on DUI charge
Auburn star Tahaad Pettiford, an SEC Player of the Year contender in 2025-26, was arrested early Saturday morning on a DUI charge in Lee County, Alabama, according to jail logs.Pettiford was released midday, a source told ESPN, and is no longer listed as an inmate on the jail's log.
"We are aware of the situation, and we will handle it internally with Tahaad and his family," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said in a statement to ESPN on Saturday. "We take these matters seriously and will learn and grow from it moving forward."
The 19-year-old's arrest on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol comes just weeks after he withdrew from the NBA draft. Pettiford, who averaged 11.6 PPG in his freshman season for an Auburn team that secured the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and reached the Final Four, is the cornerstone of Auburn's next chapter after the departure of star Johni Broome.
Following his withdrawal from the draft, Pettiford said he returned to Auburn in part to prove that he can compete at the next level.
"I was happy to go through the process, getting feedback from NBA teams," Pettiford told ESPN then. "Going back to Auburn is a better situation for me. I see myself being a higher pick next year. It wasn't 100% this year, so I didn't want to take that chance."
Although he didn't receive the same buzz as some of the top freshmen in the country during the 2024-25 season, Pettiford was widely viewed as one of the best young players in the country.

DEVELOPED HERE. Downs is one of the top prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class, just like Nick Bosa in the 2019 class and Cameron Heyward in the 2011 class. While Downs must wait another year to make his professional debut, Bosa and Heyward have been kicking it in the league for a long time — especially Heyward, who will enter his 15th NFL season this fall.
Fowler also ranked the top defensive tackles in the NFL this week. He listed Heyward No. 10 behind Dexter Lawrence (New York Giants), Chris Jones (Kansas City Chiefs), Jalen Carter (Philadelphia Eagles), Jeffery Simmons (Tennessee Titans), Quinnen Williams (New York Jets), Leonard Williams (Seattle Seahawks), Nnamdi Madubuike (Baltimore Ravens), DeForest Buckner (Indianapolis Colts) and Vita Vea (Tampa Bay Bucaneers).
