 NEW BRUNSWICK — The alleged April 25 assault that left one Rutgers University student with a broken jaw and prompted charges against six former and current Rutgers football players earlier this week was captured on video, NJ Advance Media has learned. The dismissals cap a turbulent preseason for the Scarlet Knights and coach Kyle Flood, who was also previously involved in an academic impropriety investigation involving Barnwell. A spokesman for Rutgers athletics director Julie Hermann said the investigation is part of an ongoing legal matter and the university would have no comment for this story. Earlier this week, Carey's office announced charges against four then current players — cornerback Ruhann Peele, fullback Razohnn Gross, cornerback Nadir Barnwell and defensive back Delon Stephenson — in connection to the alleged attack. All five— Nadir Barnwell, Dre Boggs, Razohnn Gross, Ruhann Peele and Delon Stephenson — are no longer part of the football program, the school announced just before kickoff against Norfolk State on Saturday. On Thursday, the Middlesex County prosecutor's office announced Barnwell, Peele, Gross and Stephenson were charged with aggravated assault, riot and conspiracy to commit a riot for a fight in April that left a man with a broken jaw. Authorities announced an investigation that led to a total of 10 suspects, 7 of whom were students, being charged in a variety of crimes related to the assault, home-invasion robberies, including one at gunpoint and an attempted robbery at a Livingston College dorm. A phone call to Nadir Barnwell, the player at the center of the university's investigation into Flood for a possible compliance violation, was unsuccessful.
– Coach Kyle Flood kicked five players—three of them projected starters—off the Rutgers University football team minutes before its season opener today, the AP reports. This week, players Nadir Barnwell, Razohnn Gross, Ruhann Peele, and Delon Stephenson were charged with assault stemming from a fight in April that left a 19-year-old student with a broken jaw, according to NJ.com. The fifth player, Dre Boggs, was charged with home-invasion robbery in connection with two incidents in April and May, reports USA Today. All five players were suspended by Rutgers following their arrests earlier this week. Police say Barnwell, Gross, Peele, and Stephenson—along with two former Rutgers players and a number of others—surrounded a group of four people and attacked them without provocation following a scrimmage in April, reports NJ.com. According to the site, police recently learned that fight was caught on video and seized cellphones belonging to a number of Rutgers players late last month.
