According to CSNNW.com, Carrington, a redshirt freshman wide receiver, failed “an NCAA administered drug test” for marijuana and is suspended for Monday night’s title game against Ohio State.
Carrington caught seven passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns in the Ducks’ 59-20 win over the Seminoles last week. If he misses the game, he’ll join fellow redshirt freshman receiver Devon Allen (41 catches, 684 yards, 7 TDs), who injured his knee on the opening kickoff of the Rose Bowl.
Carrington has emerged as a top target for Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota in recent weeks. In addition to his performance against the Seminoles, Carrington caught seven passes for 126 yards and a touchdown in a Pac-12 title game victory over Arizona on Dec. 5. Overall, Carrington has 37 catches for 704 yards (19.0 yards per catch) and four touchdowns this season. His 704 receiving yards is second on the team.
The Ducks arrived in Dallas on Friday night.
