SoSo Jamabo, the five-star running back Plano, Texas who signed with UCLA on National Signing Day, was arrested early Sunday on multiple charges.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Jomabo was charged with evading arrest with a vehicle, minor consumption of alcohol, minor in possession of alcohol, speeding, driving without possessing a driver’s license, and disregarding a stop sign.

A UCLA spokesperson told the Dallas Morning News that the school was “aware” of Jamabo’s arrest.

“We are obviously concerned about these reports and are currently gathering more information,” Josh Rupprecht, UCLA’s associate athletic director, said. “As this is a continuing process, we will withhold further comment until the appropriate time.”

West Plano High School, where Jamabo is a senior, held its prom on Saturday night.

Jamabo drew attention not only for his high recruiting ratings but for his sense of humor during the recruitment process. In late January, Jamabo named ITT Tech and the University of Phoenix as “finalists” for his decision on National Signing Day.
