SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Police charged star TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin with felony assault of a police officer stemming from a bar fight early Thursday and he was suspended for this weekend’s Alamo Bowl game against No. 15 Oregon.
The decision by coach Gary Patterson effectively ends Boykin’s college career, since he is a senior.
Patterson said Boykin and junior wide receiver Preston Miller were suspended for Saturday’s game due to a violation of team rules that he did not specify.
“We are disappointed in their actions and apologize to the TCU Horned Frogs Nation, Valero Alamo Bowl and city of San Antonio,” the coach said.
San Antonio Police spokesman Sgt. Jesse Salame said Boykin was being held on $5,000 bond. The Bexar County Magistrate’s website showed Boykin was arrested at 1:45 a.m.
