"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baylor football player Sam&amp;nbsp;Ukwuachu&amp;nbsp;has been&amp;nbsp;sentenced to six months' jail time and 10 years of felony probation Friday after being found guilty of sexual assault.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ukwuachu was given his sentence Friday after sexually assaulting a female student who is a former Baylor women's soccer player nearly two years ago.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Waco, Texas district court judge also sentenced him to 400 hours of community service. The jury recommended he be sentenced to eight years in prison, but that the sentence be probated.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ukwuachu was&amp;nbsp;taken to jail&amp;nbsp;to begin his sentence immediately following the court ruling. His attorney reportedly said they were \u201Cpleased\u201D with the probation sentence and that it \u201Cshows who Sam is as a person.\u201D The attorney said Ukwuachu maintains his innocence, according to ESPN's Max Olson.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;More: Baylor's Ukwuachu found guilty of sexual assault&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The sexual assault occurred several months after&amp;nbsp;Ukwuachu transferred to Baylor from&amp;nbsp;Boise State.&amp;nbsp;Ukwuachu was indicted&amp;nbsp;on two felony charges in June 2014, but the allegations were not reported by media until&amp;nbsp;earlier this month.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Earlier Thursday,&amp;nbsp;a report from&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Texas Monthly&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;alleged&amp;nbsp;the case was mishandled by Baylor and authorities.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ukwuachu transferred to Baylor in the fall of 2013 after he was dismissed by Boise State in May 2013. While at Boise State,&amp;nbsp;Ukwuachu was accused of being abusive toward a former girlfriend. He was dismissed from the team due to an unspecified violation of team rules, but he&amp;nbsp;told Rivals.com&amp;nbsp;in May 2013 that Baylor coaches \u201Cknew everything.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Ex-Boise State coach Petersen says Briles knew of Ukwuachu's past&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baylor head coach Art Briles denied publicly&amp;nbsp;that he was ever aware of Ukwuachu's&amp;nbsp;problems while at Boise State, saying \u201Cthere [was] no truth\u201D to that report. Former Boise State coach Chris Petersen, now at Washington, released a statement Friday saying he informed Briles&amp;nbsp;of Ukwuachu's history of violent transgressions.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baylor released a statement Friday evening after Ukwuachu's sentencing announcing a \u201Ccomprehensive internal inquiry\u201D into the case, and \u201Cthe conduct of the offices involved.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-&amp;nbsp;Jeremy Woo\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
