Knox County judicial officials on Monday sealed all documents detailing investigative information gathered in a rape probe to justify requests for search warrants of a University of Tennessee football player's apartment and DNA samples from two Vols.

Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Mike Hammond on Monday released the search warrant return detailing items seized Nov. 16 by police from the South Knoxville apartment of UT player A.J. Johnson.

Johnson, 22, and football player Michael Williams, 21, are listed as suspects in a Nov. 16 rape of a 19-year-old UT student. The woman reported she was raped by both players at Johnson's apartment during a party. No charges have been filed against the players.
