UVA Football Recruit Arrested on Alcohol Charge - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News

Monday, the University of Virginia's top football recruit for the upcoming season is in trouble with the law.

Charlottesville police say the teenager was drunk and stumbling around in the middle of a street on the UVA Corner over the weekend.

Taquan Mizzell is UVA's first five-star recruit in eight years. Now the high school student from Virginia Beach is facing a misdemeanor charge. The 19-year-old was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with unlawful purchase or possession of an alcoholic beverage.

Charlottesville police say an officer assigned to patrol the corner found Mizzell walking in the middle of Fourteenth Street around 2:30 Sunday morning. The officer said Mizzell tried to kick a car as it drove by. Police say the officer noticed Mizzell had been drinking, asked for his ID and arrested him since he's underage.

This weekend was a big recruiting event for prospective football players to visit UVA and experience Charlottesville.
