Grant started every game for the Frogs at defensive tackle in the 2010 season, and was a member of the All-Mountain West Conference team, according to his gofrogs.com profile. Grant was not drafted by an NFL team.
White denies assault allegations in statement
Former Horned Frog and current Cincinatti Bengal Marvin White released a statement to profootballtalk.com in which he denied threatening workers at his child's daycare center. White was arrested on Thursday on count of simple assault and disturbing the peace.
According to the website, White’s agent, Kevin Conner released the following statement on White’s behalf.
“I would like to sincerely apologize for the recent unfortunate situation. I have never been arrested during my career in the NFL. I didn’t make any threats while I was present at my children’s daycare. I have been there on numerous occasions and several autographed photos of myself with my kids are present. In addition, I have been invited by management to engage kids and parents through positive interaction and school activities. I am looking forward to putting this situation behind me.”
White played for two seasons at TCU after transferring from Kilgore Junior College, according to his profile on gofrogs.com. He was drafted in 2007 in the fourth round by the Bengals.
