BREAKING: 2nd Suspect Arrested In Kolstad Beating

((HT: KSTP-TV))

Here's the surveillance video from the Isaac Kolstad beating that had Mankato, Minnesota police chasing after a second suspect...


The suspect in question was arrested Tuesday.

21-year-old Trevor Shelley is now thought to be that suspect, but it's not known if Shelley was the one who punched Kolstad before Philip Nelson allegedly kicked him while he was on the ground. Nelson's attorney maintains his client was not the aggressor in the assault.

Nelson is facing two felony assault charges and is out on $20,000 bail.

Rutgers University head football coach Kyle Flood announced Tuesday Nelson has been dismissed from the team and that the university's thoughts and prayers are with the Kolstad family.

The most recent post on the Kolstad-created CaringBridge page came early Tuesday afternoon:

Isaac had surgery early this morning. It went well. Isaac remains in critical condition.
Please keep Isaac and all involved in your prayers.

Rutgers To Retire #52 In Honor Of Eric LeGrand

Eric LeGrand
Rutgers has never retired a jersey number in the programs 144 year history, that's about to
change.

Jason Baum, Senior Associate Director For Communications for Rutgers Athletics send the following tweet:

That was followed by the following tweet from LeGrand:



LeGrand, a former defensive tackle for the Scarlet Knights, was paralyzed in a game against Army on October 16, 2010 making a tackle.

The class and positive attitude that LeGrand has exhibited facing this life challenge has been an inspiration, especially those here at the OSG HQ.

Baum added that once LeGrand begins walking again his number 52 will only be worn on special occasions.
