How do you interpret what Ed Hudak just said when he goes, if it was any of our guys?

I took it as, if anyone on the team could be suspected of something like this, it would be Rashawn.

How did the team feel about having Rashawn around with all of these rumors swirling?

Pastor Steve Caldwell told me it was weird.

That's what blows me away is that he was allowed to return and be with the team with this cloud of suspicion over him.

Early on in his reporting, Dan spoke with head coach Larry Coker.

He wanted to ask Coker directly about the Rashawn theory.

I'm working with the family on this, and I've interviewed his mom and his brothers and sisters, and they have a theory that there was someone involved in his shooting that was involved with the team.

Would that surprise you if that was true?

It would.

Why would it surprise you?

You don't believe it's possible that anyone that had some kind of affiliation with the team was capable of something like that?

Whether Coker believed it happened or not, the rumors were out there.

They were swirling among Brian's closest friends and family and had found their way to the police.

Dave Howell had his own history with Rashawn and had witnessed the fight between Rashawn and Brian in the dorm room.

He remembered the police asking him about whether that could have been a motive.

But others did, and their suspicions were still running high when Dan interviewed them.

Kareem Brown was a defensive lineman in the same year as Brian.

Dan spoke to him in 2018.

Do you think Rashawn knows that people think he may have something to do?
