Washington Head Coach Jimmy Lake Allegedly Shoved Player in 2019

After being suspended earlier this week for shoving and hitting current linebacker Ruperake Fuavai, Washington head football coach Jimmy Lake has been accused of doing something similar to another player two years ago.

Per Mike Vorel of the Seattle Times, Lake is accused of shoving wide receiver Quinten Pounds at halftime of a 2019 game against Arizona.

“Lake comes in on just a complete rampage pretty much, picks up Quinten Pounds and throws him into a locker,” one eyewitness told Vorel. “Those lockers there were wooden lockers, and it was violent. It really caught everyone by surprise.
