Overview

  • Clarkson was arrested Friday by the LAPD’s Southwest Division on unspecified felony charges, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records.
  • He was released on bond after bail was set at $30,000.
  • UCLA said he is suspended indefinitely from all team activities pending the legal process.
  • The university referred the matter to the Office of Student Conduct, which will determine any further action under policy.
  • He did not appear for UCLA’s 30-23 loss at UNLV on Saturday and had been competing for backup duties behind starter Nico Iamaleava, likely sitting third on the depth chart after transfer stops at Ole Miss and Louisville.
