Published:
East Tennessee brothers Camion Patrick and Isaiah Wright were both given chances to extend their football playing career at East Mississippi Community College, most-known as “Last Chance U” following the popular Netflix documentary series chronicled the 2015 and 2016 seasons at the school, but each may be out of chances after recent events.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, the two brothers have been charged with criminal homicide in connection with the stabbing death of 18-year-old Caleb Thomas Radford of Maryville. The Alcoa Police Department announced the charges Thursday morning.
Patrick, 22, is currently a receiver on Indiana’s football team. He arrived in Bloomington following a stint at EMCC. Following the announcement of the charges, the team has suspended Patrick indefinitely. Wright, featured in the second season of “Last Chance U,” is not currently on a college roster. He did sign with West Georgia last offseason but left the program soon after arriving. He was once ranked as the No. 2 JUCO running back in the nation.
The brothers are not the only people that have been arrested in connection to Radford’s death, as two other men have been charged in connection to his stabbing.
