Ole Miss star guard Stefan Moody arrested for DUI
Six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left tibia, Ole Miss guard Stefan Moody’s offseason got even worse this past weekend.
The SEC’s leading returning scorer was arrested early Saturday morning near campus for DUI. The Jackson Clarion-Ledger first reported the news on Monday.
The news is far from ideal for an Ole Miss program that is counting on Moody to be its leader next season.
The 5-foot-10 senior guard started 33 of 34 games last season and averaged 16.6 points and 2.4 assists while leading the Rebels to a surprise NCAA tournament bid. He also led the SEC in free throw percentage and 3-point field goals made and finished third in steals.
Moody is expected to recover from his injury in time for the start of the season. Ole Miss has yet to make an announcement regarding whether he’ll face punishment for his DUI arrest.
