Illinois’ director of football student-athlete development Ryan Cubit was arrested early Sunday morning for driving under the influence.

Cubit is the son of Illinois offensive coordinator Bill Cubit.

Ryan, 32, was brought to the Champaign County jail at 2:16 a.m. after being arrested by Illinois State Police and was charged with a DUI and disobeying traffic laws. He was released around 4 a.m. after paying 10 percent of a $3,000 bond.

Head coach Tim Beckman and the Illinois athletic administration were aware of the situation, but did not immediately provide comment.

Cubit is in his first season with the Illini after being hired in the spring. He came to Illinois after five seasons with his father’s former team, Western Michigan, as its co-offensive coordinator. He graduated from Western Michigan, where he led the team as a quarterback to its first bowl game in nearly 20 years, the 2007 International Bowl.
