Maryland co-offensive coordinator Kevin Sumlin was arrested in Florida over the weekend for driving under the influence.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, the arrest occurred around 1 a.m. on Saturday in Tampa. There was no crash or damage to property in the incident. The Terrapins were on a bye week at the time.

The news was first reported by The Diamondback on Monday.

Sumlin, per the report, pleaded not guilty and waived arraignment. He faces a charge that carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail. According to the report, Sumlin refused a breathalyzer test, which could result in a suspended license for a year.

“Maryland Athletics is aware of the incident this past weekend involving football coach Kevin Sumlin,” a Maryland representative told Taylor Lyons. “As this is an ongoing investigation, we will have no further comment.”

Maryland hired Sumlin as co-offensive coordinator in February. He joined the Terps after head coaching stints at Arizona from 2018 to 2020 and Texas A&M from 2012 to 2017.
