On Tuesday, April 11, it was reported that Texas A&M sophomore safety Jacoby Mathews was arrested by university police and charged with possessing under two ounces of a controlled substance, or in layman’s terms, a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.
Mathew’s bond, set at $3,000, was paid the same day, and he was immediately released from holding. However, repercussions from Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher came quicker than expected. Mathews is now suspended indefinitely by the football program, and will most likely sit out of Saturday’s Spring Game.
Mathews is set to enter his second season with the Maroon and White as a member of the historic 2022 recruiting class, coming in as a five-star ranked safety prospect out of Ponchatoula High School in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, and the second-ranked safety in the 2022 cycle.
During the 2022 campaign, Mathews saw extensive playing time late in the year behind safeties Demani Richardson and Jardin Gilbert, recording 25 tackles, 15 solo tackles, 3 pass breakups, and 1 fumble recovery, while his best game came against Florida on Nov. 5th of last year with 15 tackles and 9 solo tackles in the loss.
