Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, who remains in custody as a suspect in an alleged assault, is expected to appear in court for arraignment on Friday, the Pittsfield Charter Township (Michigan) Department of Public Safety announced Thursday.

The Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office told ESPN that it does not expect a decision Thursday on whether to file criminal charges against Moore. Authorities have yet to release details about Moore’s arrest, other than to say that he remains under investigation.

Moore was incarcerated at the Washtenaw County Jail on Wednesday, just hours after he was fired as the Wolverines’ football coach for having what the school said was an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

“The matter involving Mr. Moore remains under active investigation by law enforcement, and as a result, we do not expect charging decisions or an arraignment today,” Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson Liz Mack said Thursday. “Mr. Moore remains in custody at the Washtenaw County Jail.”

Pittsfield police released a statement Wednesday night saying they responded at 4:10 p.m. to the 3000 block of Ann Arbor Saline Road “for the purposes of investigating an alleged assault. … A suspect in this case was taken into custody. This incident does not appear to be random in nature, and there appears to be no ongoing threat to the community.”

Moore was initially detained by police in Saline, Michigan, on Wednesday and turned over to authorities in Pittsfield Township “for investigation into potential charges.”

Michigan fired Moore on Wednesday following an investigation into his conduct with a staff member.

“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately,” the school said in a statement. “Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

The university initially investigated Moore this fall after receiving a tip about the situation but did not find credible evidence of wrongdoing, a source told ESPN. More information came forward Wednesday that the source said was “overwhelming” and led to Moore’s immediate dismissal.

Moore, 39, spent two seasons as Michigan’s coach after serving as the team’s offensive coordinator.

South Carolina star cornerback Brandon Cisse is leaving school early to declare for the NFL draft, he told ESPN.

Cisse projects as a first-round pick and will be considered among the top corners in the upcoming draft class. ESPN’s Field Yates projected him as the 29th overall pick in his most recent mock draft.

“It’s definitely been a special feeling,” Cisse told ESPN about his decision. “It’s something I prayed for my whole life. I’m excited to fulfill my lifelong dream.”

Cisse leaves South Carolina after one season there, as he spent his first two at North Carolina State. He had five pass breakups this season, one forced fumble and one interception. He also broke up five passes at NC State in 2024, where he emerged as a rising star in the ACC before transferring back to his home state.

He emerged as one of the top cover corners in the SEC this year, allowing a completion percentage of less than 40%. He’s 6-foot, 190 pounds and thrived in man coverage for the Gamecocks this season.

When asked what the NFL was getting, Cisse told ESPN: “Someone that can play man-to-man is very versatile, a football junkie who cares about his teammates more than himself. Some who loves football, is a great teammate and will do anything for program and organization.”

Cisse is from Sumter, South Carolina, and said he appreciated the opportunity to play his final season in his home state. He made a point to thank his family, coaches and academic advisers.

“I loved my experience here,” he said. “I think it was the best decision I made for my college experience. It was great to live out a lifelong dream to come play here.”

Cisse isn’t the only Gamecocks defensive back to enter the draft Thursday. Jalon Kilgore told ESPN that he is leaving school early and declaring for the NFL draft. Kilgore played nickel primarily at South Carolina and is ranked as Mel Kiper’s No. 9 safety prospect in the upcoming draft.

Southern Miss promoted offensive coordinator Blake Anderson to head coach on Thursday to replace Charles Huff, who recently left for Memphis.

The school had previously announced Anderson as interim coach three days earlier after Huff took the Memphis job.

Anderson, who previously was head coach at Utah State and Arkansas State, served this past season at Southern Miss as offensive coordinator, and his passing offense ranked first in the Sun Belt.

In 10 seasons as a Division I head coach, Anderson is 75-54, including nine bowl games and three conference titles.

In a statement, athletic director Jeremy McClain pointed to the success Anderson had as a head coach at his previous stops as one key factor.

“Blake is an exceptional leader, a great communicator, and has the respect of the players and the staff throughout the Duff Center,” McClain said. “We look forward to supporting him at the highest level and continuing the positive momentum for our program.”
