Dallas Cowboys defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku was arrested Sunday on a reckless driving charge, according to Collin County Jail records.
He was released on the same day after posting a $500 bond with conditions, per the jail records.
At 11:54 p.m. (CT) on Sunday, a Texas state trooper allegedly noticed a vehicle being driven in a reckless manner on the southbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway in Plano, Texas.
“The trooper initiated a traffic stop to investigate, which ultimately led to the arrest of the driver,” the Texas Department of Public Safety wrote in a press release. “The driver, Donovan Ezeiruaku of Frisco, TX, was booked into the Collin County Jail for Reckless Driving, a Class B misdemeanor. This investigation is ongoing, and no further information is available at this time.”
The Cowboys declined to comment on the matter and Ezeiruaku’s agent did not respond to a request for comment.
Ezeiruaku, 22, was selected by the Cowboys in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Boston College. He finished his rookie season with 40 tackles, 12 quarterback hits and two sacks in 17 games and nine starts.
