Why KaVontae Turpin may be eligible to participate in TCU’s Pro Day

KaVontae Turpin will be allowed to participate in TCU’s Pro Day later this month if his legal issues are resolved, coach Gary Patterson said.

Turpin is facing domestic violence charges in New Mexico and Fort Worth, and each case is still pending. The Fort Worth incident with his then-girlfriend happened last October, and an incident from March 2018 in New Mexico involving the same woman came to light afterward.

That prompted Patterson to dismiss Turpin from the program. But Patterson is willing to welcome Turpin back and provide an avenue for Turpin’s professional dreams should the legal issues be resolved by TCU’s Pro Day on March 29.
