College Football Player Accused Of Harboring Two Murder Suspects In His Dorm Room

A college football player has been accused of harboring two murder suspects in his dorm room.

The 2025 college football season is scheduled to begin later this month. However, one college football program is facing a troubling situation with a freshman running back. He is facing accusations that he harbored two murder suspects in his dorm room.

LSU Tigers freshman running back J.T. Lindsey is being accused of harboring two men accused of murder in his dorm room in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Two men, aged 18 and 17, were wanted for armed robbery and second-degree murder charges in Louisiana.

The freshman running back was arrested on two accessory-after-the-fact to second-degree murder charges.

Lindsey’s lawyer, Kris Perret, said that his client did not know that the two men were wanted on murder charges.

“My client JT Lindsey has been arrested on allegations of ‘accessory after the fact’ for allowing two individuals, ages 17 and 18, who unbeknownst to him, were wanted in Alexandria, to stay at his LSU apartment for a couple of nights beginning on or around July 24th,” Perret said, according to WAFB-TV.

“It is alleged that the two individuals were wanted for crimes they are accused of committing in mid-May of 2025 in Alexandria, Louisiana. There are no allegations that JT Lindsey was in anyway involved in, or in any way connected to the alleged crimes of the arrested individuals.”

The four-star recruit is fully cooperating.

“He was unaware that the individuals arrested had committed any crimes or that they had been accused of any crimes, or that they were wanted by the police for questioning when he allowed them to stay at his apartment,” he added. “Had he known that the individuals were accused of any crimes or wanted by the police, he would not have allowed them into his apartment or associated with them in any manner.

“Furthermore, at no time did JT Lindsey do anything, nor take any actions, nor demonstrate any intent whatsoever to harbor, conceal or aid either of the accused and now arrested persons to avoid arrest, apprehension, trial, conviction or punishment for their crimes. He is glad that these individuals were taken into custody by authorities without incident.”
