Former Gopher WR Barker Arrested for Marijuana

Minnesota’s best WR AJ Barker left the team suddenly and unexpected last November. Barker, a St. Paul native who went to high school at De La Salle, led the Gophers this year with 30 catches, 577 yards and seven TDs before spraining his ankle. After a disagreement with head coach Jerry Kill, Barker left the Gophers and accused coach Kill of abusive behavior. There was not much more explanation as to why he left. A few weeks later, he accepted a scholarship with the University of Houston. He was set to begin classes at UH next Monday.

However, last Sunday night (January 13th) Barker was arrested on a misdemeanor charge for possession of less than two ounces of marijuana. He is free on $500 bond and is set to appear in court February 14th. Not the best way to spend Valentine’s Day.
