On Friday evening in Davidson Country, Tennessee, Titans first-round guard Isaiah Wilson was arrested for a DUI. Buck Reising of A to Z Sports Nashville was the first with the report.
Wilson was arrested at 11:29 pm, booked at 12:44 am Saturday morning and bonded out at 1:28 am. Per source, Wilson blew a 0.107 and 0.113 at the time he was pulled over. The BAC limit in Tennessee is .08. This is the blood alcohol concentration level that lawmakers consider to be the tipping point between “safe” and “not safe” for the average person.
“We are aware of the situation,” the Titans said in a statement. “This is not conduct that is indicative of the character of our football team and we are working through details on how to proceed.”
Wilson has twice been placed on Tennessee’s COVID-19/Reserve list this preseason, and he was involved in an August 15 incident at Tennessee State University in which he attended an off-campus party that drew the attention of university police. According to a campus police incident report, Wilson was pondering jumping off a second-story balcony. Any gathering of 15 of more people would have violated NFL rules regarding players in large gatherings as teams try to ensure that their players are making safe choices in the age of COVID.
The Titans selected Wilson with the 29th overall pick in the 2020 draft out of Georgia in the hope that he can replace right tackle Jack Conklin, who signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Browns in free agency. Wilson ranked 45th overall in Touchdown Wire’s top 50 draft prospects for 2020.
