Tulsa assistant coach Ty Darlington was arrested Monday in the suburb of Jenks, Okla., on charges of reckless driving and aggravated DUI, according to a report from News9 in Tulsa.
The police report says Darlington's vehicle nearly crashed into officers as they worked a nearby crash. The report then indicates he had slurred speech and a "strong" odor of alcohol on him. "We are aware of the situation and are still gathering all the information," Tulsa football said in a statement.
Darlington joined Tulsa's staff as co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach under new head coach Tre Lamb in December. He played offensive line for Oklahoma from 2012-15, then spent five seasons as a graduate assistant and an analyst with his alma mater. He then spent 2022 as a quality control coach at Florida and 2023-24 coaching tight ends and then offensive line at Incarnate Word.
