Former OSU RB Brian Snead Was Reportedly Dismissed After Investigation into Alleged Rape in 2018

Brian Snead, one of the former top running backs from the 2018 class, was accused of allegedly raping a woman while at Ohio State, leading to his eventual suspension and dismissal from the school.

Snead, who played in two games in 2018 before being suspended and eventually leaving OSU, was found to have violated the student conduct code for non-consensual sexual intercourse. Criminal charges were never filed, but the school still dismissed Snead.

Snead's dismissal occurred on Nov. 27th, after he posted 37 yards and a touchdown in his first year at the school.

“Ohio State does not tolerate sexual assault,” school spokesman Ben Johnson told The Lantern, Ohio State's student newspaper. “The safety and well-being of our community is our first priority. In this case, the individual was found in violation of our code of student conduct and removed from the university.”

The school stands by its decision to dismiss Snead and claims the football program did not find out about the allegation until after the third game of the season.

Snead will now attend community college in Iowa, where he will look to regain traction in what may have been a promising football career.
