**Tevin Sherard Elliot** (born May 16, 1991) is an American former [college football](/source/College_football) [linebacker](/source/Linebacker) who is currently serving 20 years in state prison for two rape charges against a female Baylor athlete.[1][2]

## Biography

Regarded as only a one-star recruit by [Rivals.com](/source/Rivals.com), Elliot was not highly recruited and not listed among the top linebacker or defensive end prospects of the class of 2009.[3]

On October 14, 2010, at the age of 19, Elliot was named one of the Impact Freshmen of 2010 by *[Sports Illustrated](/source/Sports_Illustrated)*.[1]

On January 23, 2014, at the age of 22, Elliot was sentenced to 20 years in prison for two counts of sexual assault against a former female Baylor athlete. He is expected to serve a minimum of 10 years before becoming eligible for parole sometime in 2024.[4]

In May 2016, reports surfaced that [Baylor University](/source/Baylor_University) and its head football coach [Art Briles](/source/Art_Briles) were aware of Elliot's assault and rape of a Baylor student. A report issued by the [Pepper Hamilton](/source/Pepper_Hamilton) law firm—hired to investigate [Baylor's treatment of sexual assault claims](/source/Baylor_University_sexual_assault_scandal)—substantiated much of the report and indicated that Baylor took actions to cover up its students' reports of sexual assault and rape.[5] Baylor Board of Regents chair, Richard Willis said that the investigation "revealed the university's mishandling of reports in what should have been a supportive, responsive and caring environment for students."
