Former Ohio State Star, Columbus Aviators Head Coach Ted Ginn Jr. Booked Into Texas Jail Ahead of Game

On Saturday, Columbus Aviators head coach Ted Ginn Jr. was charged with driving while intoxicated in Tarrant County, Texas, and released after posting a $1,000 bond.
Euless Police Department officers stopped Ginn at 12:58 a.m. Saturday for making a wide right turn and failing to yield; an officer administered a field sobriety test.
Before his 14-year NFL career, Ginn played for Ohio State from 2004-06, helping lead the Buckeyes to the 2006 BCS National Championship Game before being named the Aviators' first head coach in December 2025.
United Football League president & CEO Russ Brandon stated the league is "gathering more information," while Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley will assume head coaching duties for Sunday's game against the Dallas Renegades.
The Columbus Aviators, currently 0-2 in their inaugural season that began in March, face the Dallas Renegades at noon ET on Sunday under interim leadership.
