But to fans and observers of the team, Rashawn didn't really stand out.
Even Nevin Shapiro, the Miami Mega Booster and self-proclaimed superfan, had no memory of Rashawn.
So at the time, where was Rashawn Jones on your radar?
We asked all the former Hurricanes players we spoke to what Rashawn was like at that time.
At the U, Rashawn was remembered as an amazing athlete who didn't meet his full potential.
He got in fights and received several suspensions.
But like Brian, he was also funny in a charming way.
And he stood out as attractive, even on a campus full of young, hot people.
Now, bear in mind, we spoke to a lot of team members, mostly friends of Brian's.
We tried talking to more of Rashawn's friends, but several of them turned down our interview requests.
So our sample may have been a bit biased, but lots of players said versions of the same thing.
Rashawn, like, kind of rubs some people the wrong way.
Teammate Eric Houston told us that Rashawn's interest in women often seemed more important to Rashawn than football.
These hookups were a point of friction with more than one of Rashawn's teammates.
According to the police report and our interviews, Rashawn would go behind players' backs and hit on their girlfriends.
Willie Williams and Dave Howell both told police that Rashawn did this with the women they were dating at the time.
Rashawn also allegedly went behind Brian's back to talk with his girlfriend, Jada Brody.
Dan, you spoke to many of Brian's teammates.
What did they tell you about his run-ins with Rashawn?
So a lot of time has passed since they were all teammates.
