Former Oregon wide receiver Ryan Pelham, who recently entered the transfer portal, has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a firearm.

He was able to take advantage of his redshirt and is still only a freshman.
Pellum's real name is Ryan Taylor, and he is the nephew of Oregon State's defensive coordinator and former linebacker at the school, Don Pellum.
Pelham was released on bail, but According to The Oregonian.
He is accused of hitting the unidentified victim in the head with a 9mm gun and then firing two shots into the air.
The victim required stitches, the report said.
Long Beach police issued an extradition warrant Tuesday, and Pelham was arrested the next day at his Springfield apartment.
An Oregon State spokesperson declined to comment, noting that the 5-foot-11 receiver no longer attends the school.
