Washington head coach Chris Petersen issued a statement Friday saying that he informed Baylor's Art Briles about why defensive end Sam Ukwuachu was dismissed at Boise State.
"After Sam Ukwuachu was dismissed from the Boise State football program and expressed an interest in transferring to Baylor, I initiated a call with coach Art Briles. In that conversation, I thoroughly apprised Coach Briles of the circumstances surrounding Sam's disciplinary record and dismissal," said Petersen, who was Boise State's coach at the time.
Briles said in a news conference Friday morning that he had no knowledge of Ukwuachu's violent past at Boise State.
