Malcolm Marable
Oregon State football player Malcolm Marable, 20, is the latest of the Beavers to get in trouble this offseason.
A trooper cited Marable, a sophomore CB, after clocking the gray 2005 Nissan Altima he was driving at 104 mph.
According to the citation, about 1 a.m. Sunday, Marable was northbound on Interstate 5 near milepost 226, a stretch posted 65 mph.
The trooper had the Nissan pull over and Marable was cited for “exceeding the speed limit 100+” which carries a presumptive fine of $1,150.
He was warned for failure to carry proof of insurance and failure to carry registration.
According to the citation, it was not his car.
Fellow CBs Sean Martin (DUII) and Mishawn Cummings (undisclosed) have been suspended from the team, coach Mike Riley announced in the last week.
UPDATE: Riley was unavailable for comment, but OSU confirmed that Marable is suspended indefinitely until the matter is resolved.
Marable played in all 12 games as a true freshman, mostly on special teams. He two tackles and 13 kickoff returns with an average of 24.8 yards.

Marable clearly is not very wise, even at 20. Driving 100+, carrying no insurance, no registration and driving a vehicle that was not his own in the process. Hasn’t Riley spoken to each and every one of his players and told them that their ramnifications could result in suspension, loss of scholarship or kicked off the team? Heck , it seems like if a picture is a thousand words, at least show all playes a picture of Cliff Harris, UO’s much maligned DB. Tell players that this is what will happen to you if you continue to be a knucklehead.

The picture of Malcolm Marable can be used every bit ass effectively. He well knew about Cliff Harris’ attempt at warp factor Altima. Silly silly Beav…

Multiple Beaver football players running afoul of the law? Why that can’t be, for as long as I have lived in this town it seems all I hear about is what a clean program with such fine young men St. Mike Riley runs. All the while, Chip Kelly recruits kids (in blatant disregard for any NCAA rule, don’t you know) that are clearly disciples of Satan. Sure the Ducks win lots of games, but St. Mike runs a clean program and loses “the right way.” Isn’t this what I’ve been led to believe by Beaver Nation?

While both programs have had their share of player issues, I do believe MR runs his program in an ethical manner…I guess we will see if the NCAA says the same about Chip…..

No one ever said our players don’t get in trouble. All of the recent activities resulted in suspensions, so what’s your point?

the thing you’ll never understand is its about how its handled. chip does whats best for winning that week. riley went down that slope with castro last year and it was insane. what little respect i had for riley was diminished even further. first he was a nice guy, ran a tight ship, won games, and got more out of less. now he is just a nice guy.

How it’s handled??? Cliffy was our best DB, he was suspended against LSU, and was in the doghouse for most of the season. One more fairly minor transgression and he was gone. How about Masoli? Kiko Alonso in 2010? Were these situations handled with winning as the top priority? I’ll give you the Blount thing you guys never shut up about…to a point. But that was a very harsh, knee-jerk punishment, and Chip was a very green head coach. He still made the kid pay a steep price, but didn’t completely kill off his chances for the NFL success he’s now having.

Feel better Ducky? Sounds like you’ve been waiting a while to unload that. You shouldn’t hold things in. It’ll make you bitter.

Once again, I say, welcome coach Perry; and best wishes as you deal with these “boys”. You said you wanted to work with young people and it is apparent that there is much work to do regarding lifeskills as well as football. Hopefully your maturity makes you the best person to straighten out these guys, and to help each one to live up to his potential on and off the field. Good Luck and Go Beavs !!

WTH? First, our DB recruiting class falls apart and now the returning DB’s are having a world class dumb a$$ contest.

its like the DT’s last year. they were a mixture of injuries and dumb a$$ness but still. brings up a bad memory.

Riley needs to call a team meeting ASAP.
Maybe Heyward kept these guys in line? The common thread is that are all DBs and they are all Heyward guys.
Perry, time to step into the fire.

BBB – Why worry about the opposing passing game when its proven time and time again that you cant stop the spread, read-option attack? Heck, the least of the Beavs worries should be the secondary! If the opposing QB has an offensive system just above pop-warner level, coupled with a mobile QB, this is the primary worry. Secondary concerns?!? Geez guys, you had me worried there for a minute.

It seems that the program under Riley continues to be deteriorating. When will begin to see further attrition, not just for disciplinary reasons, but from injuries on account of a poor training staff. Over the past three years it is just one thing after another going bad. If the ship is not righted at the end of this season then wholesale program changes should be made, from the top on down.

dili,
momentum is a weird thing. even if you love riley and his staff sometimes you just have to make a change to shift momentum back in your favor. you see it all the time in professional sports. a guy will be successfull for a long time then suddenly his words fall on deaf ears. the front office makes a change and the same players start to win. its not necassarily an indictment of the coach or his abilities rather than a new message is what the situation calls for.

Its not like this bozo had any D1 talent.
Get rid of him. Another poor player and poor attitude recruited by our under achieving football staff.
Get rid of Riley as well.

Cliff, what’s the cutoff speed limit for NOT getting indefinitely suspended. If it’s 103, then damn, so close.
Cliff Kirkpatrick says:

Probably a round number like 100.
