LOGAN, Utah - Utah State quarterback Jerod Walker has been arrested and accused of raping a female student, police said Saturday.
The 19-year-old Walker turned himself into campus police on Thursday and was booked into the Cache County Jail, according to a release from USU Department of Public Safety.
Walker posted bail and was released from jail the same day. He is expected to be charged with a felony and arraigned next week.
Walker was suspended from the team, pending the legal proceedings, and did not participate in a short scrimmage on Friday, said Utah State spokesman Mike Strauss.
He started two games as a freshman last season and was expected to compete for the starting job in 2006.
