COLUMBIA (AP) - A former Missouri running back and team captain who served 120 days in prison for felony sex assault is back on the field at Division II Tuskegee University in Alabama.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser reported Derrick Washington is a starting tailback at the historically black college. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns in the team's most recent game, a 35-17 win over Johnson C. Smith in Atlanta.
