UPDATE: Oklahoma suspended Parrish Cobb Tuesday night after a Waco newspaper reported that the Sooner freshman cornerback was set to turn himself in on an armed robbery charge.
The OU statement to the media said: "We are aware of the matter and Mr. Cobb is suspended indefinitely from all athletics participation. The University will review the matter further, consistent with its student conduct process."
EARLIER: Parrish Cobb, a top Oklahoma freshman last fall, has been named in an arrest warrant identifying him as a suspect in an armed robbery that occurred earlier this month near Waco.
The Waco Tribune Herald reported the news Tuesday night, saying that Cobb's lawyer said his client plans to turn himself into police, Wednesday. Police believe Cobb could be linked to three robberies.
Cobb is a former star of La Vega High School outside of Waco. A four-star prospect, Cobb originally signed with Baylor, but was allowed out of his letter of intent when coach Art Briles was fired in late May. His father was so intent on having his son switch schools that he showed up at McLane Stadium to talk to Baylor officials following a press conference to introduce interim coach Jim Grobe.
The newspaper said that Bellmead police were called to a convenience store on Jan. 10th after a Longview man said he was robbed at gunpoint. The man told police he was approached by a passenger in a dark colored vehicle. He said the man pulled a gun and robbed him.
The Tribune Herald also reported there were two other similar robberies in the Waco area. One also happened Jan. 10. A man told Waco police that a passenger in a dark-colored sports car approached him. He said the man had a gun and robbed him of his wallet. On Jan. 7, Baylor police reported that a man was robbed at gun point on campus.
An unidentified source told the Tribune Herald that police have searched a red Dodge Challenger registered to a member of Cobb's family. The car had an OU parking pass.
Cobb started two games last September before straining his hamstring.
