A former Kansas University football player will be sentenced in February for his role in a fight outside of a Lawrence bar earlier this year.

Brock Teddleton, who played defensive tackle, pleaded no contest to a battery charge last week in Douglas County District Court. A jury was supposed to hear the case this week.

Teddleton, who left the football team on his own at the end of this season, was involved in a fight March 9 at Jack Flanigan’s Bar and Grill, 806 W. 24th. The victim was a 19-year-old KU student.

Teddleton’s attorney said he tried to reach a diversion agreement between his client and prosecutors, but the district attorney rejected it.
