Overview
- Texas Tech said Monday the 22-year-old transfer is taking an indefinite leave to enter a residential program for a gambling addiction.
- The NCAA opened an investigation after reports he placed thousands of online bets through an app, including wagers tied to Indiana football in 2022 while he redshirted.
- Reports say those Indiana bets were on the Hoosiers to win and not on a game he played, yet any college wagering violates NCAA rules.
- NCAA policy bars athletes from betting on college or pro sports, and betting on one's own team can lead to permanent loss of eligibility.
- There is no public sign of law enforcement involvement or game-fixing claims, and his attorneys filed a motion Monday to dismiss Cincinnati’s $1 million transfer lawsuit.
