Cade Borud, who recently moved to the Iowa Football League, arrested for drunk driving

IOWA CITY – According to Polk County records, offensive lineman Cade Borud was arrested early Saturday morning for drunken driving.

According to arrest records, officers observed Borud “swaying in his lane and crossing the divider of a two-lane roadway” while driving a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Officers said Borud admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages prior to operating his motor vehicle. According to officers, Borud had bloodshot and watery eyes.

Borud agreed to a sobriety test and, according to police, showed signs of impairment, including failing the walking and turning tests and failing the one-legged stand test.

Borud consented to a preliminary breath test, which, according to arrest records, showed a breath alcohol concentration of 0.188%. He also consented to a DataMaster test, which showed a breath alcohol concentration of 0.177%.

In Iowa, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or more.

According to Polk County records, this was Borud’s first offense.

“The UI athletics department and football program are aware of Cade Borud’s summons over the weekend,” a program spokesperson said in a statement. “He is subject to established university protocol regarding the UI student-athlete code of conduct as well as the rules and regulations established for members of the football program.”

Borud is entering his first season with the Iowa football program after joining the Hawkeyes in the offseason. Borud, who attended Southeast Polk High School, spent two seasons at North Dakota. He broke out at North Dakota last season, starting 12 games at center and being named to the Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Newcomer Team.

That led to him being courted by the Hawkeyes for a second recruiting cycle. While at Southeast Polk, Borud turned down a preferred walk-on opportunity at Iowa to go to North Dakota. But when a preferred walk-on position at Iowa opened up again after his stint at North Dakota, Borud took it.

Because Borud redshirted his freshman year at North Dakota, he came to Iowa with three seasons left. Given the low turnover on Iowa’s offensive line, Borud was not expected to play a major role any time soon. But Borud could provide significant long-term value to Iowa’s offensive line.
