STORRS, Conn. (AP) -The football coach at the University of Connecticut says he’s heard nothing to indicate members of his team were involved in a fight before player Jasper Howard was killed.
Randy Edsall, speaking at his weekly pre-game news conference Tuesday, says there may have been some “verbal jostling” but has not been told that any of his players were fighting with anyone.
Police say Howard was stabbed to death, and another player suffered minor injuries, during an altercation following a dance early Sunday morning. A Hartford attorney says his client, who expects to be arrested, was fighting with several football players before the stabbing.
Edsall says Howard’s mother visited with each player yesterday, and his uncle, a former Miami police officer, advised them not to seek revenge.
