Nebraska tight end Arik Gilbert was arrested and Cassian Grantbooked on a burglary charge, according to online jail records from Lancaster County, Nebraska.
The 21-year-old Gilbert transferred from Georgia during the offseason and still has not received clearance, as he was seeking a waiver to play this season.
Gilbert was buried on the depth chart at Georgia behind All-American Brock Bowers and announced his decision to transfer after the 2022 season, where he only caught two passes for 16 yards.
A five-star recruit and 2020Gatorade high school male athlete of the year from Marietta, Georgia, Gilbert originally committed to LSU. During his freshman season with the Tigers, Gilbert caught 35 passes for 368 yards and two touchdowns.

Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule had said that the program was looking to get Gilbert on the field.
"I'm just going to be really disappointed if he doesn't get it," Rhule said earlier this month. "(He's) the most deserving young man. If he doesn't get it, they shouldn't even have the waiver. The NCAA should not even have the waiver if he doesn't get it. But there's a lot of parties involved. There's a lot of entities out there that don't always have people's best interest at heart."
Nebraska opens its season Thursday at Minnesota.
