The Boise State football team has indefinitely suspended edge rusher Dylan Herberg after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, the university confirmed Sunday.

Herberg, a 21-year-old redshirt senior, was arrested at 11:15 p.m. Saturday, according to records from the Ada County Sheriff’s Office. He faces five misdemeanors: one count of driving under the influence and four counts of transporting a minor while under the influence. He is out on bond, according to arrest records.

Boise police officers responded to a crash involving a vehicle hitting a tree on South Constitution Avenue on Saturday night, and Herberg was identified as the driver, a Boise Police Department spokesperson said Monday. He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and failed a field sobriety test, police said.

There were four passengers younger than 18 in the car at the time of the crash, according to police. No injuries were reported, but their presence in the vehicle resulted in the four counts of transporting a minor.

Herberg — a former standout at Timberline High who was a walk-on at Boise State in 2018 and was put on full scholarship last September — appeared in 10 games last season and finished with six tackles and one sack.
