Two Former UT Football Players Admit To Robbery
AUSTIN (AP) ―
Two former Texas football players pleaded guilty today in Austin -- to robbery.
Ex-safety Robert Joseph and former defensive tackle Andre Jones pleaded guilty to one felony charge of robbery.
Each could get up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Probation is also an option.
Sentencing is July 14th.
Joseph was kicked off the team last year after his arrest on a separate burglary charge in June.
He and Jones were arrested over a July 2007 home invasion that also allegedly involved running back and safety James Henry.
Henry was indicted for knowingly destroying or concealing stolen items.
Henry hasn't entered a plea but faces a July 18th court appearance.
Henry and Jones were suspended last year.
UT athletic spokesman John Bianco says Jones won't be reinstated because he pleaded guilty to a felony.
