One day after a Daily Beast article claiming that Matt Wells did not properly handle allegations of sexual assault against one of his players at Utah State, the Texas Tech football head coach released a statement defending his actions.
In an official statement, Wells points out that the player, Torrey Green, had finished his playing career in 2015, months prior to the January of 2016 meeting between coach and player which was mentioned in the Daily Beast article.
In that article, author Olivia Messer makes it a point to note that Green was allowed to remain part of the Utah State football program after the meeting with Wells.
