Raborn was arrested by University of Alabama police for driving under the influence of a controlled substance per TideSports.com. He was released on a $1,000 bond.

Alabama coach Nick Saban’s statement to Al.com was succinct.

“Gunnar Raborn has been suspended indefinitely,” it said.

Alabama’s kicking struggles have been a topic early in the 2015 season. Griffith missed his first four field goals of the year (two against Wisconsin and two against Middle Tennessee State) before connecting on a 20-yard field goal against Ole Miss. He’s 14-14 on extra points.

Raborn, a walk-on, missed two kicks total in 2014. He was 2-3 kicking field goals and 9-10 kicking extra points.

He’s also not the first Power Five conference kicker to be arrested for DUI and suspended in 2015. Clemson K Ammon Lakip was arrested for DUI over the summer and suspended for the Tigers’ first three games of the season.
