Just Josh-in' Again... Jarboe Vs. Police v2.0

((HT: edsbs/Dothan Eagle))

You all remember Josh Jarboe, don't you...?
Josh was a very talented high-school wide receiver in suburban Atlanta who was well on his way to losing a national championship game at the University of Oklahoma until he released a rather-expletive laden and sexually suggestive rap on youtube thinking no one would watch it.

"Silly rabbit... Trix are for kids..."

OU head coach Bob Stoops had had enough of his stylings and released him from his scholarship. Josh ended up at Troy University where his New Orleans Bowl future seemed secure until the following... he was arrested Sunday and charged with misdemeanor harassment.

From Drew Champlin's piece...

"According to an arrest report obtained by the Dothan Eagle, Jarboe, 19, of Atlanta, was arrested at Stewart Hall, a dining facility. No description of the harassment was on the arrest report.

The report did say that Jarboe was sober, did not resist arrest, was not armed and that there were no injuries. The arresting officer is listed as Harold Purifoy. On the report, it says Jarboe was arrested “on view,” meaning the officer was there and the report showed no warrant was issued at the time of arrest."

As a reminder, here's Josh's award-winning rap from last year...
Ah, youth...

Jarboe Gets A Movie Gallery Of His Own

Get your head out of the gutter...

Troy Head Football Coach Larry Blakeney announced Wednesday afternoon that former Oklahoma University wide receiver-rap star Josh Jarboe ((pictured, thanks ajc.com)) is transferring to the school. The graduate of Cedar Grove High School in suburban Atlanta was regarded as a Top-10 high school prospect at receiver before accepting a scholarship to attend OU.

While at OU, he decided to free-style into someone's recording device on campus and his stylings were released to the world.



That drew the ire of Sooners Head Coach Bob Stoops among others, and Jarboe was asked to return his Oklahoma citizenship and had his passport to the Big-12 revoked.

"Troy University has always been interested in providing opportunities for young people to better themselves, and this is a situation where a young man who has made some mistakes is looking for a second chance,” Blakeney said. “I have met with Josh, and I am convinced that he is ready, and willing, to do the things we need for him to do to be a productive member of both this football team and the Troy University community.”

Just keep all recording devices away from earshot, eh, coach...?

The key to whether or not Jarboe can immediately play at Troy is the idea that he, either, was or wasn't actually enrolled at OU and was taking classes in Norman.
