A Villanova University football player was charged with sexually assaulting another student, a university spokesperson said Sunday.
D’Hani Cobbs, a freshman wide receiver on Villanova’s football team, was charged with sexually assaulting another student in December 2025, according to the university.
Cobbs’ bio page on Villanova’s athletics website has since been removed, but he’s still on ESPN’s stats page. It says he returned one punt in the 2025 season. Cobbs is a Camden, New Jersey, native.
Villanova said it launched an investigation into the alleged incident with campus police and the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office in December. Cobbs has since been removed from campus.
“Sexual violence of any kind is not tolerated on our campus and we are committed to both supporting the victim and fostering a safe environment for all of our students,” the university said in a statement in part. “We are deeply troubled any time we receive reports of such misconduct, as our priority is, and always has been, to ensure we have a safe community for our students, faculty, and staff.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
