Minnesota starting quarterback Drake Lindsey was arrested early Friday in Arkansas for underage possession of alcohol and possession of fake identification.
Lindsey, 20, is a native of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and was booked at 1:13 a.m. Friday, according to online records from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. He was released about seven hours later, and has hearings set for June 1 and June 29 in Fayetteville District Court.
Minnesota did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Lindsey’s arrest.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Lindsey started throughout the 2025 season and set a team record for most wins by a freshman (8). He completed 249 of 386 passes for 2,382 yards and 18 touchdowns with six interceptions last fall.
Minnesota completed spring practice last month, and Lindsey completed 4 of 5 passes for 89 yards in the spring game. The Gophers open the 2026 season Sept. 3 at home against Eastern Illinois.
