Following a report from former ESPN reporter Joe Schad claiming he assaulted former girlfriend Dolores Lozano on multiple occasions in the spring of 2014, former Baylor running back Devin Chafin told Schad in a Facebook post, “the story has been falsely constructed.”
According to Chafin, he had to grab Lozano because “she was fighting me,” but says he never threw her to the ground. “I was never interviewed by Waco Police,” Chafin said. “She would not leave my house. I honestly don’t know what bruising I caused. But there were no criminal charges for a reason.”
Chafin said he spoke to his position coach Jeff Lebby but, to his knowledge, head coach Art Briles was never aware of the incident.
“Right now, they want to clear their names of anything related to assault,” Chafin said. “People are looking at me like I abuse women and I don’t. It’s hard.”
Chafin played in 19 games over the past two seasons, rushing 201 times for 961 yards and 17 scores.
After serving a suspension for a marijuana arrest, Chafin was kicked off the team last week after Lozano’s accusation bubbled through an Outside the Lines report. Lebby remains on staff.
