TCU running back Sewo Olonilua was arrested in Huntsville, Texas on Tuesday evening and booked into Walker County for possession of a controlled substance. Olonilua was released Wednesday morning on $4,000 bond.

According to Walker County Court and Sheriff Department records, Olonilua was arrested for drug paraphernalia and possession controlled substance weighing more than one gram and less than four. That is a third degree felony and could carry a jail sentence of 2-10 years.

Olonilua just earned his degree from TCU on Saturday, graduating in 3.5 years.

TCU’s public relations released a statement on Wednesday night regarding the star running back’s arrest.

“We are aware of the matter and looking into it,” the statement said.

Olonilua was the Frogs’ leading rusher in 2018, finishing with 635 yards and 2 touchdowns. He was third on the team with 752 all-purpose yards.

He saved his best game for last in the Frogs’ 17-10 win over Cal in the Cheez-It Bowl. Olonilua rushed 32 times for 194 yards and 1 touchdown in the win and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. The 32 carries was the second-most by a TCU running back in the Frogs’ bowl history; LaDainian Tomlinson rushed 36 times against East Carolina in the 1999 Mobile Alabama Bowl.

Olonilua has rushed for 1,087 yards in his 3-year career. He has played in 40 games during his career.

The 6-foot-3, 231-pounder is considered one of the top playmakers in the Big 12. With his size, Olonilua has clocked at a 4.47 forty and squatted 705 pounds...twice. Along with Darius Anderson, the Frogs have one of the best backfields in the Big 12.

Olonilua was part of the Frogs’ 2016 recruiting class, which is the highest ranking class ever signed by Gary Patterson since he’s been the Frogs’ head coach. Olonilua was ranked as the No. 123 overall player in the nation and No. 5 athlete. He was ranked as the No. 20 overall player in the state of Texas according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
