Shawn Oakman is a raw, but talented pass rusher out of Baylor, who will enter the next phase of his football under the cloud of assault allegations according to Alex Dunlap.
BREAKING: #Baylor DE and NFL draft hopeful Shawn Oakman the latest BU player under investigation for Sexual Assault. Story coming.

This comes on the heels of a report from the Waco Tribune about a Baylor player coming under investigation for sexual assault.
According to the report, the allegations are another black-eye for Art Briles, with the latest incident happening sometime in the last week.
The player declined comment Monday when asked about the allegation.
“I don’t know what you are talking about,” he said.
Waco police searched the player’s residence near the Baylor campus Sunday afternoon looking for evidence to support the woman’s claims that the player sexually assaulted her between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. Sunday.
The suspect told Waco police detectives the sexual contact was consensual.
A police affidavit for the search warrant said police were looking for clothing the woman left behind at the player’s residence, earrings, blood, semen, bodily fluids, hair, skin cells, DNA, bedsheets and other items.
Court documents indicate officers seized two comforters, a fitted sheet and a flat sheet from the suspect’s bedroom.
The woman went to the hospital after the alleged assault and was examined by a sexual assault nurse examiner, according to the court records.
We’ll keep you posted, as Oakman’s NFL future hangs in the balance. I’d say his draft status is shot unless this turns out be some sort of mix-up.
