Preliminary hearing set for Oklahoma State tailback

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - A September preliminary hearing was set Monday for Seymore Shaw, Oklahoma State&#39;s top returning rusher, on two felony counts and two misdemeanors, according to the Payne County clerk&#39;s office.<br> <br> Shaw, 23, has pleaded innocent on felony counts of first-degree burglary and larceny and misdemeanor counts of domestic abuse and malicious injury to property. His preliminary hearing was scheduled for Sept. 21.<br> <br> According to court documents, Shaw allegedly broke into a former girlfriend&#39;s house May 13 and struck her, damaged several picture frames and stole a pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes and four custom chrome wheels. A judge granted the woman&#39;s request for a protective order against Shaw in May.<br> <br> Royce Hobbs, Shaw&#39;s attorney, said he had no comment on the case. <br> <br> Shaw played in all 12 of Oklahoma State&#39;s games last season and rushed for 377 yards and two touchdowns on 81 carries. He started in place of the injured Vernand Morency against Baylor and ran for a career-high 172 yards on 30 carries, but had only 10 yards on six rushes in the Cowboys&#39; final two games. He underwent rehab during spring practice after offseason knee surgery.<br> <br> Morency, a 1,400-yard rusher, left after his junior season and was taken in the third round of the NFL draft. That left Shaw, a partial qualifier who earned an extra year of eligibility by graduating early in May, as Oklahoma State&#39;s top returning running back.<br> <br> Cowboys coach Mike Gundy suspended Shaw in June after charges were filed.
