  Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Marcus Hooker has "paid his dues" after an offseason drunk driving arrest and is eligible to play at the start of the season. Hooker, a junior safety, was suspended indefinitely following his arrest shortly before the start of spring practices. Hooker pleaded guilty to one count of operating a vehicle while impaired in Franklin County Municipal Court on April. It was the second drunk driving-related arrest of Hooker's OSU career. "He went through a tough time, but he's learned a lot from it and paid his dues and went through a bunch of different programs," Day said. "We support Marcus and he's back on the team." Hooker started Ohio State's first five games last season, recording 15 tackles and an interception. Josh Proctor took over the free safety job when Hooker missed the Big Ten championship game due to injury, then retained it when Hooker was eligible to play again. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

  Ohio State football coach Ryan Day said the program will let the legal process play out before making further decisions about Marcus Hooker after the safety's arrest for operating a vehicle while impaired last weekend. However, Day left open the possibility of repercussions beyond the current indefinite suspension. This is Hooker's second arrest for a similar charge, following one in the summer before his freshman season in 2018. "We're very disappointed and take what happened very, very seriously," Day said. "We're gonna let the process play out, though he is suspended right now indefinitely. As things move forward, we'll make the decisions as we go. But wanted to get all the information first before we did anything."

According to a Columbus Police report and online court records, Hooker was found unresponsive in a McDonald's drive-thru near Delasmut Ave. and W. 5th Ave. in Columbus with his foot on the brake and the vehicle in drive. Officers attempted to wake Hooker by "physically rock the vehicle side to side and operate the air horn on the cruiser." Officers had to break out a window to unlock the vehicle and remove Hooker. - Cleveland Plain Dealer
