All-American and national champion wrestler AJ Ferrari has been arrested for the third time in his college career.
According to sheriff’s department records, Ferrari has been charged with ‘flight to avoid arrest’ as well as willful reckless driving and obstructing the police.
Ferrari, who still has a year of college eligibility remaining despite beginning his career in 2020, is accused of driving down Highway 83 at over 120mph in an attempt to flee police.
After crashing his Corvette ‘into a ditch’ Ferrari then took off on foot in an ill-fated attempt to flee officers.
Records indicate Ferrari was booked on Saturday, but did not specify what time this took place.
Ferrari had been arrested twice previously in his college career that began at Oklahoma State in the 2020-21 season.

Ferrari was arrested multiple times throughout his collegiate wrestling career
Ferrari won a national championship in the 197 pound weight class as a true freshman for the Cowboys.
However, he later departed the team after he was arrested amid a sexual assault case which was later dropped.
Ferrari then left for the University of Iowa. There, he became notable for punching a teammate and flipping off the crowd with his middle finger.
He then went to Cal State-Bakersfield – where he mostly stayed out of legal trouble before finishing third in the NCAA Tournament in 2025.
After a failed attempt to transfer to the University of North Carolina, Ferrari went to Nebraska for this past season.
Earlier in the season, Ferrari was arrested on an outstanding warrant issued for him.
While he still has a year of eligibility remaining, Ferrari is unlikely to find another school considering his lengthy rap sheet.
