LSU is removing former star running back Derrius Guice from its record books and barring him from any future involvement in the school’s athletic programs, the Baton Rouge Advocate reported on Friday. A school spokesperson later confirmed the actions to ESPN.
Guice, a second-round pick for the Washington Football Team in 2018, was arrested on domestic violence charges in August 2020. The team cut him on the same day he was arrested. Later that month, Guice was accused of sexually assaulting two women when he was a freshman at LSU in 2016. He was also accused of taking a partially nude photo of a third woman without her permission and sharing it with his teammates.
These and other changes are a result of March’s Husch Blackwell report, which cataloged the systematic failures that allowed LSU officials to cover up sexual misconduct accusations for years.
