That didn't take long: Iowa State football: Running back Jaylon Jackson arrested for OWI in Ames

[Jimmy McGill]

Iowa State running back Jaylon Jackson was arrested early Sunday morning for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, according to online records.
The arrest occurred at 2:38 a.m. on Sunday. According to Ames Police Department's arrest log, it happened at 618 South 17th Street. It is Jackson's first OWI arrest.

"We are aware of the situation and have no further comment at this time," an Iowa State football spokesperson said.
Jackson, 22, is a graduate transfer from Burleson, Texas. He previously played at Lamar and Eastern Michigan prior to coming to Iowa State.

This year, he has recorded 388 yards and two touchdowns on 93 carries. He also has seven receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown. Jackson had four carries for 15 yards in Saturday's 45-19 Big 12 championship game loss to Arizona State in Arlington, Teas.

Iowa State will play Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Dec. 28 in Orlando, Fla.

Can you blame him?

Word on the street is that Matt Campbell had to be carted off the plane.

So, he and Matt won't be playing or coaching in the Bowl game due to a 1 game suspension?

They were probably back in Ames by 8

Can't blame him. With that said, I'm not gonna talk any shit because the Hawks have had their fair share of these types of issues over the years too.

There plenty of rides here in town. No reason to be driving

Plus, if I'm Head Coach, I have a couple of staff members that players can call to avoid this

I'm guessing he wasn't driving because there were no alternatives and it was the only choice he had. College kids make dumbass decisions sometimes when it comes to drinking and driving. Every student in Ames is well aware of Uber and Lyft.

Hopefully Campbell will do the right thing and keep him out of the bowl game.
