Locker room fight leads to assault charges

Patrick Grant (#96) apparently doesn't practice hard enough for the Geffrad brothers

Back in October, Louisville’s Jacob and Isaac Geffrad thought it best to beat the crap out of fellow teammate Patrick Grant after a hard day’s practice. Apparently the locker room scuffle turned violent when players began accusing each other that they weren’t practicing hard enough. At one point, Isaac held down Patrick in LAPD fashion while Jacob practiced his best Manny Pacquiao combinations on Patrick’s head.

After the fight, if you want to call it a fight, Grant was seriously injured and was immediately hospitalized to relieve a hemorrhage behind his left eye and eventually had orbital bone surgery to repair fractured bones.

The Geffrad brothers were both kicked off the team shortly thereafter, but the real trouble just began as the players are being criminally charged with first-degree assault and are due in court February 3rd.

Of course the Geffrads’ attorney tried to downplay the injury saying, “to my knowledge he was not within an inch of losing his sight, but there were some injuries that were sustained and those injuries from what I understand have been corrected.”
