SAN ANTONIO (AP) — TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested early Thursday and charged with felony assault of a police officer after the one-time Heisman Trophy contender slipped out of the team hotel past curfew, was allegedly heckled at a bar and ended up being subdued by authorities who said they had to threaten him with a Taser.
The 22-year-old Boykin was swiftly suspended for the Alamo Bowl in an abrupt and inglorious end to a brilliant college career.
The game Saturday against No. 15 Oregon would have been the last for Boykin, a senior who shattered school passing records once held by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and who was hoping to give NFL scouts one final look as the 11th-ranked Horned Frogs wrapped up their season.
