Former Florida Gator defensive end Carlos Dunlap plead no contest on his DUI case today. I’m sure you remember Carlos was arrested on December 1, 2009 just days before the SEC Championship Game… resulting in a suspension that severely hurt the Gators chances at beating Alabama. Anyway – we’re over that, right? Dunlap got pretty much the same treatment all celebrity athletes get in a DUI case, probation.

Dunlap was placed on probation for a year with his driver’s license suspended for six months. He must pay about $1,000 which includes $442 in court costs, a $500 fine, and $50 cost of prosecution. Dunlap was also given 50 hours of community service with permission to pay for 25 and work the other 25.

He has the NFL Draft coming up in April and I’m sure he’s glad this is all behind him. People tend to forget quickly once you return to action ont he field. He played great in the Sugar Bowl, including two sacks. Dunlap is project as a mid first round pick. Whoever drafts him will get a hell of a player – they just have to due their research and make sure his drinking isn’t a problem.
