Auburn linebacker DJ Barber is no longer with the program, head coach Hugh Freeze confirmed to AL.com on Wednesday.

On3/Rivals was first to report the news.

His dismissal comes after Barber was arrested Monday on charges of trafficking in marijuana, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

The arrest came after a traffic stop in Dadeville where two and a half pounds of marijuana, THC vapes, digital scales, marijuana packaging, $1,897 in US currency, and a Glock 19 9mm pistol were recovered from the vehicle, according to a press release from the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force.

Trafficking in marijuana is considered a Class A felony in the state of Alabama and unlawful possession of a controlled substance is considered a Class D felony. Possession of drug paraphernalia is considered a misdemeanor.

Barber was arrested alongside Marcell Brewster, 19, of Birmingham, who was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of marijuana second degree and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

The investigation into the trafficking, possession and distribution of illegal narcotics is ongoing in Tallapoosa County.

Barber, a redshirt freshman out of Clay-Chalkville High School, was a three-star commit in the 2024 recruiting class. He did not log any stats during the 2024 season.
