Something similar happened to me last season, except there was no previous drop. He had never been that high in skill before he popped. 33 years old and popped in OD.
I happend to grab a screen of the event:

His OD is down to average, and ID down to pitiful. JS and driving down one level each. Good thing he is just a scrub.
