Hawaii Football 2012: QB Cayman Shutter Arrested on Suspicion of DUI

It is the offseason and no program is immune from issue in that regard. Today we leave the mainland for an issue in Hawaii. One of the men expected to compete for the Warriors' starting quarterback job under new head coach Norm Chow has been arrested under suspicion of DUI.

Cayman Shutter, a sophomore at the University of Hawaii, was arrested early in the morning, or late at night, yesterday while speeding and weaving on the H-1 Freeway.

Another athlete makes a bad decision and now his future with the program is in jeopardy. While the Hawaii student-athlete handbook does not have any hard and fast rulings with respect to arrests, it does let us know that a misdemeanor charge warrants discipline from the team's coach. That means Norm Chow, has the ball in his court. As of now, no suspension has been handed down and Chow has opted to wait until a later date to offer comment on the situation.

On the field, Hawaii is a school that started their spring ball a little over a week ago, this could turn the three-man race for quarterback into a two-man battle. Shutter was splitting reps with David Graves and Ikaika Woolsey up until his arrest. A setback such as the impending suspension would definitely hurt his chances of winning the job, especially as he competes against Graves, the more experienced of the three.

Right now the move is to wait and see what becomes of Shutter's football future. With a likely suspension coming down it appears Chow will be picking from Woolsey, an early enrollee from California, and David Graves who has appeared in 16 contests to date. Woolsey is a "Norm Chow guy" as the new coach recruited the freshman for the job, but Graves has thrown for over 800 yards in his career, backing up Bryant Moniz.
