Arizona Wildcats freshman safety Scottie Young Jr., who was arrested last week on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence, is participating in all team activities, UA coach Rich Rodriguez said Monday.
Rodriguez said he and his staff “consulted with all the appropriate authorities, including the dean of students,” before deciding that Young would remain with the team.
Last year, Rodriguez dismissed tailback Orlando Bradford from the squad after he was arrested in a domestic-violence case. Asked how Young’s situation differed from Bradford’s, Rodriguez said: “It is different. Every situation with all of our players is evaluated individually.
