Derrius Guice, American football player

Derrius Guice (pronounced ) (born June 21, 1997) is a former American football running back. He played college football at LSU, where he was the first player in Southeastern Conference (SEC) history with three career games of 250 or more rushing yards.

He was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, but appeared in just five games in two years with them 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 sexual harassment by him during his time there.
