CLEMSON — Clemson offensive lineman Barry Humphries, who missed all but two games last season due to injury, will also miss the first two games of the 2009 season following his DUI arrest earlier this month.

Clemson Police Chief Jimmy Dixon confirmed Wednesday that Humphries was charged May 2. An incident report regarding the arrest was unavailable at press time.

However, a press release issued by Clemson University Sports Information Director Tim Bourret Wednesday afternoon said Humphries was arrested while driving his motor scooter in Clemson.

A starter at center and guard during the 2007 season, Humphries, who played high school football at Belton-Honea Path, suffered a torn ACL last season. Although he earned his undergraduate degree from Clemson earlier this month, Humphries has one season of eligibility remaining. He missed spring practice while recovering from the injury and is listed as the fourth-team center on the post spring practice depth chart.

Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney said that while he was proud of Humphries’ graduation earlier this month, he was disappointed in his decision-making in regards to the DUI charge.

“Even though he was on a motor scooter, we take this charge seriously,” Swinney said in a prepared statement, adding that Humphries told him what had happened the day after the incident.

Swinney said the coaching staff would continue to monitor the legal process regarding Humphries’ situation throughout the summer.

This marks the second DUI arrest for Humphries, the first occurring in November 2005 in Rabun County, Ga. Humphries was subsequently suspended for the Champs Sports Bowl.
