A $500 bond allowed for his release. Eli Drinkwitz, the team’s head coach, issued a statement to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch announcing Bailey’s indefinite suspension from the squad.
Just before 1 a.m. CT, Bailey was stopped for a lane infraction and for having an expired license plate close to the school’s Columbia campus. He was arrested after a later sobriety test revealed failure.
“We are aware of Chad Bailey’s situation; he’s been suspended according to Department of Athletics policy.” “We will follow all departmental and campus policies.” We have high expectations for all our student-athletes, on and off the field,”
Drinkwitz Said.
Last season, the 6-foot-234-pound “super senior” served as the Tigers’ team captain, made 11 starts, and is anticipated to be one of Missouri’s top defensive players in 2023.
His 57 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks were good for third place on the team. He had a strong finish with nine tackles in the 27-17 victory, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks in the Gasparilla Bowl loss to Wake Forest.
After Bailey recorded 55 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and eight starts in 2021, he became a star. He was a three-star talent in the Class of 2018 out of Ridge Point High School in Missouri City, Texas.
