Are 2 counts of assault good enough for Urban Meyer to recruit him? Or does he need multiple counts of battery too?

that'll get him a non actionable offer, at most. plenty of time before 15 NSD so we'll see.

Not sure but are those felonies? If so this kid probably just ruined his future.

I could be wrong since I'm not even close to being a lawyer, but I did a quick google search, and both appear to be misdemeanors, but both can carry jail time.

He's certainly got a deep hole to climb out of.

I thought aggravated was a felony. I thought that was how rape is classified. Aggravated sexual assault. But I'm also no a lawyer so I'm probably way off here.

Every state is different, but aggravated has always been a felony where I have been (which is not Michigan).

Thus, if a person commits an Assault in Michigan that produces any of the above 4 results, then they will likely be charged with Aggravated Assault under Michigan law, MCL 750.81a, and could spend up to 1 year in the County Jail and or have to pay up to a $1,000.00 fine. That’s a lot to face, not to mention the possibility of having a permanent Michigan Aggravated Assault conviction on your criminal record for all of the public to see.

Remember that if you are charged in Michigan with Aggravated Assault, that means there is evidence against you that a person was injured badly enough to have to go to the doctor/hospital, was disfigured, their health was impaired, or a part of their body was impaired. In other words, you may find yourself attempting to stay out of Jail and keep your record clean in the wake of a bunch of damaging evidence photos depicting blood, bruising, and disfigurement – not to mention the possibility of medical testimony.

Just thought I would quote information from the lesser listed charge.

I can't find it mentioned anywhere, but was it ever revealed why he did it? To show off? The security guard said something? Just decided to be a dick? Anyone know?

There is speculation that Jayru was stopped by the security guard for wearing a hoodie - a Cass Tech dress code violation. After a 28 - 0 loss to Detroit Catholic Central, Campbell threw a punch in the handshake line. He had to be restrained and grappled to the ground by a Cass Tech coach. For this incident, he received an opening game suspension.

if you watch the vine on this article:
New Jayru Campbell video emerges, shows moments before the body slam - MLive.com

the guard actually engaged him first

Yeah, he talked to the guy. I wouldn't expect there to be that big of a crowd if he was just flipping a security guard out of nowhere.

Security guards have the right to stop students if they see something wrong or something needing questioning. Campbell shoves him twice without seemingly anything wrong from the security guard and to top things off flips him. Guy doesn't deserve a scholarship, let alone a FBS scholarship.

Doesn't matter if the guard "engaged" him first. Unless he actually assaulted Jayru, which he didn't, him getting slammed to the ground is insane and out of line.

Jaryu clearly has some sort of anger issues he needs to work out. He had a chance after that sucker punch earlier in the season. Kid needs to be held accountable for his actions.

How has MSU not publicly dropped him yet? Obviously, they can't make comments on Jayru himself, but you think they'd leak something out to a reporter. It's a bad look for them.

Not just MSU, but I feel like as a formality ND and other schools should quietly rescind their offers as well.

New article: MSU recruit Jayru Campbell attacked security officer after being told to remove hood, prosecutor says | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

(Worthy)“My message is this: It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, how fast you can run, how far you can throw a football, what instrument you play,” Worthy said. “The law applies to everyone.”

The officer asked Campbell to remove his hood several times while he was inside the school, and when he refused, the officer told him to report to the office, prosecutors said.

Worthy (prosecutor) said she saw video from enough angles for her office to make a charging decision.

He is expected to be arraigned Wednesday in 36th District Court at 10:30 a.m., a court official said.

Prosecutor: Mich. St. commit told to remove hood prior to confrontation with security guard | CollegeFootballTalk

At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Worthy announced that Campbell has been charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm and aggravated assault. The former is a felony, the latter a misdemeanor. The 23-year-old security guard involved in the in-school incident, Worthy said, suffered a “facial injury and an open wound to the head.”

The 17-year-old Campbell will be tried as an adult and arraigned on the charges later today.

The Free Press writes that “[t]he felony charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $5,000, and the misdemeanor count is punishable by up to one year behind bars and a fine up to $1,000.”

Sounds like MSU pulling his scholarship is the least of his worries right now. It also mentions MSU has a review team to assess whether a convicted felon can still be admitted. I'd be shocked if they let him in as a student-athlete though.

That in itself speaks volumes. They are assessing whether a felon can be admitted? This tells me they don't have any intentions of pulling his scholarship at this moment. Evidently character isn't an issue at MSU unless you create a felony?

Agreed. Maybe MSU wants all the facts before they act on anything? Although you'd think Dantonio, a guy who suspended the heart and soul of the team for the Rose Bowl, would be the first guy to say "hey maybe we should act on this kid's offer."

My impression from the article is that they have this as a standing practice, not something set up for this specific instance. It's a big state school so I imagine they get some applicants with checkered pasts and need to assess the risk on a somewhat regular basis.

I know what you're saying, but still. What did that guard do to warrant such a physical outburst? To me the "Let's wait for the facts" corporate line is BS here. If he had slapped or hit him once, then maybe, but this was full tilt WWE.
