SMU Athletics has suspended wide receiver #18 Theodore “Teddy” Knox in connection with the hit-and-run accident involving Rashee Rice on March 30. Dallas Police issued warrants for the arrest of both Knox and Rice on Wednesday. Both face eight counts for their roles in the crash.
“SMU has been notified by Dallas Police of an arrest warrant for Theodore ‘Teddy’ Knox, a student-athlete on the Mustang football team. Knox has been suspended from the team,” said Brad Sutton, SMU’s athletic’s chief of communications.
“We have fully cooperated with law enforcement, other than that we have no further comment,” said Knox’s lawyer Deandra Grant in a text message to The Daily Campus.
