Former Ohio State running back Brionte Dunn has pleaded not guilty to domestic violence and assault charges.
Dunn is accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend last month. He was kicked off the team the day after the alleged incident, and on the same day a woman requested a civil protection order against him.
The Canton native was a highly-touted recruit when he came to OSU in 2012. The four-star recruit turned down offers from Michigan and other top schools, but mostly failed to live up to the hype. He scored three tuochdowns and ran for fewer than 300 yards in time at OSU.
With the departure of star running back Ezekiel Elliott, Dunn was expected to compete against redshirt freshman Mike Weber, Jr. for the starting position.
