Sam Ukwuachu’s dad: Art Briles didn’t know about son’s past

The saga surrounding how much Baylor University and head football coach Art Briles knew about former defensive end and Boise State transfer Sam Ukwuachu’s violent past has taken yet another twist, as the young man’s father has now gotten involved.

In a radio interview, as reported by Waco’s KWTX, Felix Ukwuachu has said that Briles had absolutely zero knowledge of his son’s past and that his statements on the matter are 100 percent true.

To give a refresher, Sam Ukwuachu was convicted of the rape of a former Baylor soccer player last week and sentenced to six months in jail, plus 10 years’ felony probation.
