LENOIR CITY, TN (WVLT) -- Former Lenoir City and University of Tennessee running back Travis Cozart is behind bars.
Cozart was arrested Monday in Loudon County for violation of his probation.
The Loudon County Sheriff's Department says Cozart was booked for evading arrest, Cozart has outstanding warrants.
Travis was an All-East Tennessee performer with the Panthers in the early '90's. He enrolled at UT but only spent time with the Vols on the practice field.
He did play professionally with the Shreveport Pirates of the CFL in 1995 and signed with the NFL Rams in '97, but did not play.
Cozart was convicted on aggravated assault charges back in 1997.
That's a shame. You wonder what might have been.
It's ironic that this story was published on July 4.
This was from 1995:
In mid-July Travis Cozart, a junior-college transfer expected to compete for the starting tailback job, was dismissed from the team. Cozart was arrested on assault charges July 4.
