Derrius Guice (/ɡaɪs/ GEISS;[1] born June 21, 1997) is an American professional football running back who is a free agent. He played college football for the LSU Tigers, where he was the first player in Southeastern Conference (SEC) history with three career games of 250 or more rushing yards before being selected by the Washington Redskins in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft.
Guice appeared in just five games in two years in the NFL due to multiple knee injuries and was released in 2020 after being charged for crimes related to domestic violence. LSU disassociated itself from Guice and removed all of his statistics from their record books in 2021 amid claims that the school had mishandled accusations of multiple rapes committed by him during his time there.[2]
