Cephus missed the final five games of the Badgers' 2017 campaign because of a broken right leg and did not play at all in 2018 after being expelled from school following sexual assault charges.

Cephus was acquitted by a jury in August, reinstated by school officials and was ruled academically eligible for 2019.^[17]

In 2019, Cephus was acquitted of second- and third-degree sexual assault by a jury after two women said he sexually assaulted them at his apartment in 2018.

Cephus was suspended from Wisconsin's football team in August 2018 after charges were filed against him.^[20]

Per the Associated Press, the women testified that they were too drunk to have sex.

Cephus said that he met the women the same day they came to his apartment: "He said that at a bar that night, that woman introduced him to her friend, 'and for the rest of the 20 to 30 minutes [at the bar] she was attached to me.' He said he didn't see the two women drink much."

Cephus also admitted to having his roommate and teammate, Danny Davis, take a picture of him having sex with the two women and that he lied to police about who took the photo because he was trying to protect Davis.^[20]
