Actually, in most states he would've been cited, because most states are like Mississippi in that they have an extremely low BAC requirement if you are under drinking age. In Tennessee, the legal limit is 0.08 if you are 21 or older, but it's either 0.01 or 0.02 if you are under 21. It's that way in most states. The legal limit used to be 0.10 in most states for those of drinking age, but most states dropped it to 0.08.
And most states have a much lower limit for under age drinkers. I don't think the legal drinking age is 19 in Louisiana either. I'm pretty sure that nationally it's 21. In Canada it's 19, so maybe he'd have been OK in Canada.
Backer, you are very predictable. When it's an MSU player, we don't know the facts, and we shouldn't condemn. If it's an Ole Miss, LSU, or Alabama player, they are guilty as charged.
Here is a link to Louisiana law. The drinking age is 21:

Edited to add: And here is a link to the Louisiana laws for minors citing a 0.02 BAC for DWI/DUI for underage drinkers (on page 3):

Honestly, I don't care that he got in trouble. It happens everywhere, but don't come trying to defend his actions by making things up. Being 20 and having a 0.05 BAC will get you a DUI in more states than not. And honestly, I would bet that it would get you a DUI in all 50 states.
Edited again for more info: The national drinking age is 21 for all states:

And I know this is from wiki, but in this case wiki is being cited by a legit source for info on American DUI laws. The legal limit in all 50 states is now 0.08 BAC for those over 21. And for those under 21, the BAC is either 0.01 or 0.02 in all states:

So, yes Jamon would've been cited for DUI in ALL 50 states with a BAC of 0.05, being only 20 years old.
If you want to do your own research, here is a link that has links to laws for all 50 states. I doubt you'll find a state where a 20 year old can drive with a 0.05 BAC and not get a DUI:
