TCU’s Boykin apologizes on Twitter after arrest

He posted a $5,000 bond and was released from police custody later that day.

– “He was heckled and he responded to it unfortunately”.

The quarterback was arrested in San Antonio on charges of striking a police officer outside a bar during an early-morning altercation. He was formally charged with assaulting a public servant, resisting arrest and public intoxication. The 22-year-old has thrived over the past two years as a starter under center and kept the Horned Frogs among the best teams in college football.

Originally the game was projected to be a high-scoring affair between Oregon’s sixth-ranked offense and TCU’s No. 8 attack with Boykin and Ducks quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. leading the way.

“So I think it just, again, says a ton about their character”.

Patterson did not speak to reporters Thursday, but co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham said Boykin was in his hotel room when the team did checks Wednesday night.

Boykin was arrested early Thursday morning after he allegedly punched an officer during a drunken bar fight.

“We are disappointed in their actions and apologize to the TCU Horned Frogs Nation, Valero Alamo Bowl and the city of San Antonio”, Patterson said in a statement. Miller, a junior, has played in one game this season. Emanuel Porter led the TCU receving corps with 48 yards on three catches, but it was Jarrison Stewart and Turpin who hauled in Boykin’s touchdown passes. Doctson will not play in this game, and Boykin has not been as effective without him.

“We watched the Oklahoma film, too, of an outstanding team they had beat multiple times”, Helfrich said. “He’s a good person”, TCU running back Aaron Green said. “If you miss a tackle, if you miss an assignment, they’ll make you pay for it”. Boykin is a senior who passed for 3,575 yards, 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season.

Sgt. Jesse Salame, a spokesperson for the SAPD, said patrons inside a downtown bar exchanged words with Boykin who then took took a swing and hit a bar employee.
