MN Gophers QB Drake Lindsey Booked On Alcohol, Fake ID Allegations

The 20-year-old team captain was booked on allegations of minor in possession of alcohol and fraudulent identification, records show.

  • On Friday, Minnesota Gophers quarterback Drake Lindsey was arrested in Arkansas on pending charges of minor in possession of alcohol and possession of fraudulent identification, according to Washington County Sheriff's Office records.
  • According to a preliminary police report, Lindsey was questioned after staff at a Fayetteville bar reported potential fake ID use; he admitted to using the fraudulent identification and consuming alcohol before arriving at the downtown establishment.
  • The Gophers stated, "We are aware of the situation and will address it internally," while head coach P.J. Fleck demands his players develop "academically, socially and spiritually" as part of his leadership philosophy.
  • A 20-year-old Fayetteville native, Lindsey enters his redshirt sophomore season as the unquestioned starter for the Gophers, having completed 63% of his passes for 2,382 yards last season.
  • Lindsey is due back in Fayetteville District Court for a June 1 hearing, though expectations remain high as analyst Nate Tice recently ranked him on his 2027 NFL Draft big board.
