Coastal Carolina’s Preston Carey joins Fulmer Cup race after starting DB picked up for DUI
Preston Carey started five games for Coastal Carolina in 2017 and was expected to be a starting corner in 2018.
It’s often been said that no news in the offseason is good news when it comes to college football programs. Most head coaches would agree as typically when they get a phone call late at night or early in the morning about a player, chances are high it’s going to involve law enforcement.
Such is the case at Coastal Carolina, where the Myrtle Beach Sun News reports that starting cornerback Preston Carey was arrested for driving under the influence and booked into a local jail around 4:15 a.m. Friday. Online records confirmed the news.
