Derrius Guice, former LSU running back
Two former LSU students told USA Today that former Tigers running back Derrius Guice raped them in 2016 when the Baton Rouge native was a freshman. LSU beat reporter Glen Guilbeau for the USA Today Network says the investigative story found that the women reported the allegations to multiple people at LSU, but…
“It doesn’t look like LSU’s Title IX office or anyone at LSU really did much in reaction to the two girls’ charges,” said Guilbeau.
The story by Nancy Armour and Kenny Jacoby claims two coaches, an athletics administrator and nurse were told about the alleged assault. Guice’s attorney says the accusations are not true.
The Washington Football Team recently released Guice after he was arrested on domestic violence charges. Guilbeau says the USA Today reporters were working on this investigative piece before Guice was arrested.
“So it is not a reaction to those charges, they were already working on a story involving Guice and then that happened,” said Guilbeau.
Guice was a second-round pick in 2018 by Washington. He’s only played in five games in the NFL because of injuries. But Guilbeau says Guice might not football play again.
“So the NFL is going to look at the cases at LSU and investigate and it could end up making Guice’s suspension that much longer,” said Guilbeau.
