Otis Weah, a former All-American running back at the University of North Dakota who recently committed to play football at Missouri State, was accused of sexual assault at his former school and banned from the university for five years after a Title IX investigation, multiple sources told the News-Leader.
Missouri State recently rescinded its offer to Weah after learning about the accusations, according to sources who spoke to the News-Leader on the condition of anonymity. The timing of Weah's recruitment, along with state and federal privacy laws, suggest that Missouri State and its football coaching staff would not have known about the accusations until Weah arrived on campus or voluntarily disclosed the information.
