One of the state’s top prep football players has asked a judge to order the Corvallis School District to allow him to play on his school team this fall despite pending felony allegations that he raped someone at a weekend party.
Corvallis High senior Marco Brewer, 17, contends that the district is overstepping its authority by forbidding him from playing football for the Spartans and jeopardizing his chances of accepting a full-ride scholarship to UCLA to play in fall 2018.
“Marco Brewer has not been convicted of any criminal offense and the criminal matter remains pending,” say court papers filed by Brewer in Benton County Circuit Court.
