Ohio State Linebacker Storm Klein Facing Charges

It's not looking good for Klein

More bad news for Ohio State and head coach Urban Meyer. Senior linebacker Storm Klein was arrested on Friday and is facing one charge of domestic violence and one for assault, according to a Franklin County Municipal Court case summary.

This puts Urban Meyer in an unfortunate spot as this is the most recent of a couple occurrences, that included Jack Mewhort and Jake Stoneburner being arrested. Now Klein might be in danger of losing a spot on the team.

Here's an Ohio State official:

"We are aware, obviously, of the situation," a school spokesman said in a statement. "We are in the process of gathering more information. "At this point we won't have further comment until after we know and understand all the details."

Klein is scheduled for arraignment this morning, and he is likely to face punishment from Meyer at some point after that based on precedent the new coach has already set.

Storm started 10 games for the Buckeyes last season and posted 45 tackles while also chipping in an interception, a sack, a forced fumble and a recovery. But he wasn't able to hold on to a first-team role after the first camp under Meyer, losing his spot to Curtis Grant.

Couple this with the recent news of Jordan Hall being out for up to 10 weeks with a foot injury and this just adds to the already high pressures of Urban's job as head coach.
