Ohio State's Jake Stoneburner, Jack Mewhort Reportedly Lose Scholarships

Jake Stoneburner, Jack Mewhort Lose Ohio State Scholarships, According To Report

Ohio State Buckeyes tight end Jake Stoneburner and tackle Jack Mewhort were arrested in early June for evading police, then found themselves suspended from the Ohio State football team by head coach Urban Meyer. The two players were allegedly urinating in public between buildings, then ran away when questioned by police.

The indefinite suspensions have now turned into the two players losing their scholarships, the school announced to The Cleveland Plain Dealer on Friday, after the two players pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.

Ohio State football players Jake Stoneburner and Jack Mewhort have lost their scholarships for the summer, will pay their own way for summer school and will have a chance to return to the football team, and to their scholarships, after the summer session.

Both players are key starters on the Buckeyes' offense, so it's no real surprise they were not just kicked off the football team entirely. According to the release, Stoneburner and Mewhort will be allowed to work out at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center but will not be able to work out with any other Buckeye players.

Ohio State Depth Chart After Jake Stoneburner, Jack Mewhort Suspensions

I can't imagine living in a world in which Urban Meyer's players miss actual game action due to inappropriate urination, but let's just go ahead and let loose a scenario in which tight end Jake Stoneburner and tackle Jack Mewhort miss the opener against Miami (Ohio) due to their business-obstructin' arrests.

Both are starters, for one thing.

Stoneburner has finished in the team's top three in receptions two years in a row, though that doesn't really mean a whole lot going forward, since nobody was really zipping up all that many passes around Columbus. He is a touchdown magnet, however, with half of his 14 catches last year going for scores, and is expected to burst forth in Meyer's offense, which produced current NFL star Aaron Hernandez. Stoneburner's backed by Jeff Heuerman, who had one catch as a freshman, and Land-Grant Holy Land calls him "a potential future star in the making."

Mewhort is relieved by redshirt sophomore Darryl Baldwin, a newly converted defensive lineman.

So! It's highly unlikely that the events from this weekend will trickle onto the field, but if they do, there's how it will all shake out.

Jake Stoneburner, Jack Mewhort Suspended Indefinitely By Ohio State

According to a report from the Toledo Blade, Ohio State TE Jake Stoneburner and OL Jack Mewhort have been suspended indefinitely after a little after-hours shenanigans on Sunday morning resulted in them briefly running from the police.

The two were reportedly urinating outside a restaurant when police spotted them. They briefly fled, which was enough to get them arrested on a misdemeanor "obstructing official business" charge.

But while an indefinite suspension is hardly "double secret probation," there's still a long time to go before the 2012 season starts.

Whenever the two end up playing again, they will undoubtedly be in excellent physical condition from running suicides and stadiums.

Urban Meyer's new Ohio State coaching staff can't be pleased that Stoneburner and Mewhort ended up on the police blotter, and got themselves suspended for a good portion of the off-season, for such a silly bit of business.

Jake Stoneburner, Jack Mewhort Arrested For Evading Police

Turns out, Ohio State TE Jake Stoneburner wasn't alone when he was arrested early Saturday morning for "obstructing official business." In addition to Stoneburner, police also arrested offensive lineman Jack Mewhort, as well as a third person who isn't affiliated with the Buckeyes' football team.

So what caused the arrest? Details are beginning to emerge.

Police told 10TV News that two officers saw the three men who they believed were urinating between buildings. The officers attempted to talk with them but they ran away.

Two of them were captured while they were crouched in between vehicles in a parking area used for the nearby Memorial Tournament, police said. The third person was found hiding in nearby woods after officers threatened to use a police dog.

That doesn't sound good, and our Ohio State blog, Land-Grant Holy Land, is none too pleased with what might come next.
