Josh Pinkard (born April 2, 1986 in Oxnard, California, U.S.) is an African-American football free safety and cornerback at the University of Southern California.
High school career
Pinkard's prep career included being named a Super Prep All-American, Super Prep All-Farwest, Prep Star All-West, Tacoma News Tribune Western 100, All-CIF Southern Section first team, All-CIF Division IV and Los Angeles Times All-Ventura/North Coast pick as a senior defensive back and wide receiver. During his senior year at Hueneme he recorded 123 tackles, 2 sacks and 4 interceptions on defense and 22 receptions for 200-plus yards with 5 TDs on offense. He earned All-American honors in 2003.
Collegiate career
In his freshman year in 2004, Pinkard played in all 13 games as a reserve safety and on special teams.
In his sophomore season in 2005, Pinkard played in all 13 games and started seven games, with six of those games as a cornerback.
In his junior year in 2006, Pinkard suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament on his right knee at the season opener (a 50-14 win over Arkansas), and did not play for the remainder of the season.
In his redshirt junior year in 2007, Pinkard was moved to the top of the cornerback depth chart. However, in the practice before the first game of the season he once again suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, this time on his left knee, that ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[1]
2007 arrest
On May 18, 2007 at 3:44 am, Pinkard was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a California Highway Patrol officer noticed a car swerving as it traveled from the eastbound Pomona Freeway to the northbound Long Beach Freeway.
Pinkard was booked at the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles at 5:25 am and was released at 3:50 pm. He was scheduled to appear in East Los Angeles Municipal Court on July 24, 2007,[2] but the court appearance has been continued until September.[3]
