Oklahoma State running back Jordan Williams has been dismissed following his latest arrest

Early Wednesday morning Oklahoma State wrestler Jordan Williams was arrested by OSU PD for the second time in less than a year.

As a result of the most recent arrest, Williams has been dismissed from the Cowboys wrestling team, according to a statement from the Pokes head coach. David Taylor.

“Jordan Williams is no longer part of the Cowboy Wrestling program due to a rules violation,” Taylor said. “We wish him well as he moves forward.”

On Thursday, Williams made a post on the social network Instagram in which he acknowledged his dismissal.

“Yes, it happened,” Williams wrote. “I’d like to apologize to everyone who supports me. I made a mistake and I can’t go back and change that and I’m doing fine too!! I also wanted to say thank you Oklahoma State!! “

According to public records, Williams was arrested by OSU PD at 2:07 a.m. Wednesday in Parking Lot 4 on the north side of Gallagher-Iba Arena for public intoxication and malicious damage to property.

The incident comes nearly a year after OSU police arrested Williams for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol on Aug. 16, 2023, according to court documents.

As a true freshman in 2022-23, Williams wrestled in three events, finishing the season with an 8-7 record. Last year as a redshirt freshman, Williams earned a starting spot in the Oklahoma State lineup at 149 pounds, posting a 17-9 season record en route to a second-place finish at the Big 12 Championships.

The talented wrestler came to OSU after spending three seasons of his high school career at Collinsville (OK), where he took home a trio of state titles. As a senior, Williams transferred to Owasso (OK) and placed second at the state championships.

The former Cowboys standout will now look for a new home after two promising years in Stillwater.
