The driver of Rashee Rice’s Corvette has been revealed.
Theodore Knox, a cornerback for Southern Methodist University which is also Rice’s alma mater, has been revealed as the driver of the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver’s Corvette in the multi-vehicle crash that occurred in Dallas back on March 30.
SMU cornerback Theodore “Teddy” Knox has been suspended from the team following his involvement in a multi-vehicle collision in Dallas last month, as reported by multiple sources on Thursday.
Rice, who was allegedly driving a rented Lamborghini that was racing Knox driving the Corvette, surrendered to authorities on Thursday evening.
Both he and Knox are facing the same set of eight felony charges, including six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault.

According to reports from WFAA citing the police, Knox was driving the Corvette involved in the six-vehicle crash on March 30.
SMU has released a statement regarding Knox’s suspension, which was shared on social media by NFL Network’s Clayton Holloway.
“SMU has been notified by Dallas Police of an arrest warrant for Theodore ‘Teddy’ Knox, a student-athlete on the Mustang football team. Knox has been suspended from the team,” the program wrote. “SMU takes these allegations seriously. Federal student privacy laws prevent the University from discussing details involving student disciplinary proceedings.”
The Chiefs have not yet made any announcements regarding disciplinary actions against Rice.
Rice was driving a rented Lamborghini SUV while Knox was allegedly behind the wheel of a Corvette leased by Rice.
Police believe the two vehicles were engaged in a race on U.S. Route 75, which allegedly led to the multi-vehicle collision.
Four passengers were reportedly in both cars registered under Rice’s name, but they are not facing charges related to the collision, according to police.
Reportedly, both vehicles contained around 11 grams of marijuana, along with credit cards, a diamond chain, a check exceeding $16,000, and the Chiefs’ playbook.
However, no possession charges were filed against Rice, Knox, or any of the passengers.
Knox, ranked as the top wide receiver in his class by ESPN when he graduated from The Woodlands High School outside of Houston, hails from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
He transferred to SMU from Mississippi State in 2022.
In his freshman year with the Mustangs, Knox caught four passes for 3 yards and made four tackles across 12 games.
Last season, as a sophomore, he played in 11 games, primarily as a special teams player, recording four tackles.
