A former Missouri Tigers running back heads to court Tuesday morning for a jury trial.

Derrick Washington is charged with felony sexual assault. The charge stems from accusations made from a former Missouri athletics tutor.

Attorneys made a request to have a pool of 80 jurors to choose from. His trial is expected to last two days.

Washington is also scheduled for a court trial next Friday on two domestic assault charges.

The one-time Tiger co-captain has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
