Baylor Suspends Player For Violating Team Rule

WACO (AP) - Suspended Baylor defensive end Tevin Elliott has been arrested and charged with sexual assault.

A Waco police statement says the 20-year-old lineman was arrested Monday on a warrant related to the reported sexual assault of a woman early the morning of April 15 at a Waco apartment complex.

No bond has been set. Jail records list no attorney for Elliott.

Baylor coach Art Briles announced Friday that Elliott was suspended indefinitely for violating an unspecified team policy. He didn't elaborate and said he'd have no further comment.

Over the past two seasons, Elliott started 11 of his 25 games. He had 63 tackles with 17 tackles for loss and eight sacks.
