Five Rutgers football players were charged Thursday with a variety of crimes related to the alleged assault of multiple individuals in April.
According to documents obtained byKeith Sargeant of NJ.com, five current Rutgers players—Nadir Barnwell, Ruhann Peele, Andre Boggs, Delon Stephenson and Rahzonn Gross—were among 10 people charged in multiple violent crimes that vary from robbery to the breaking of another student's jaw.
Nine of the 10 defendants were arrested Thursday, but Daryl Stephenson—brother of Delon and former Rutgers student—remains at large. Rutgers has officially suspended the students pending the investigation.
"The students involved are currently suspended from our program," athletics director Julie Hermann said in a statement, per Sargeant.
