WWL-TV reported the identity of the young woman, Denisha Coleman, along with a graphic photo of the soon-to-be high school graduate. Coleman’s eyes were swollen shut from, and her mother told WWL-TV that her daughter would likely need surgery to fix a broken nose and fractures near her eye.

Coleman is recovering at home, but her injuries will cause her to miss her high school graduation Friday, her mother said. 

Coleman’s mother also told WWL-TV that her daughter and Judson didn’t know each other before the 19-year-old Tulane defensive end allegedly hit her at Waffle House around 2:30 a.m. Monday.

Booking records show Judson was arrested on a second-degree battery count and booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. 

Tulane also suspended Judson from the football program indefinitely following the assault.
