SMU football player allegedly involved in Rashee Rice crash suspended from team
SMU football player Theodore "Teddy" Knox was suspended from the team after being involved in a high-speed crash with Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice.
A Texas college football player allegedly involved in a high-speed crash involving Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was suspended from his team, the school said.
Southern Methodist University, a private research school in University Park, Texas, announced the suspension of Theodore “Teddy” Knox on Thursday after Dallas police issued an arrest warrant for the SMU athlete.
Knox, 21, was driving a Corvette and Rice, 23, was driving a Lamborghini in the multivehicle collision in Dallas last month, police said.
“SMU takes these allegations seriously,” the school’s athletic department said in a statement, noting that “federal student privacy laws prevent the University from discussing details involving student disciplinary proceedings.”
