Report: Nebraska OL Gibson Pyle arrested for suspected DUI

Nebraska offensive lineman Gibson Pyle was arrested for suspected DUI early Saturday morning, according to a report from KETV. He was later taken into custody.

Police stopped Pyle at approx. 1:20 a.m. near Ninth and N streets in Lincoln after he disobeyed a traffic control device, KETV reported. The officer then administered a breathalyzer test, and Pyle’s BAC registered at 0.109 – surpassing the 0.08 legal limit.

Pyle was taken into custody for a first offense of DUI. His arrest came more than 12 hours before Nebraska was preparing to take on UCLA at Memorial Stadium.

Through his freshman season in Lincoln, Gibson Pyle’s only appearance came in the season opener against UTSA. He arrived on campus as a three-star recruit and the No. 682 overall player from the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Nebraska enters November on a three-game losing streak following the loss to UCLA last time out, which also saw Dylan Raiola leave late with an injury. However, the expectation is he’ll be ready to go after the bye week.

The Cornhuskers remain one win away from bowl eligibility, although the recent skid has kept them from reaching that 6-win plateau. But Matt Rhule isn’t ready to hit the panic button. He expressed his confidence in what he and the staff are building and said he’s not “running” from the struggles.

“We have a great thing going here, and we have recruits all across the country that want to come here,” Rhule said. “And there’ll be kids lining up if we said, ‘hey, we’ll take you’ to the kids lining up to come here. So I don’t worry about any of that. I care deeply about my players. I care deeply about their character and their growth. And you know, if they’re good enough, some guys … if they want to play, they should go down a level. But if a little bit of adversity causes you to turn and run, then, you know, you don’t see me running. I’m not running.”
