On one hand, it's great that Washington State junior linebacker Logan Tago won the university's award for community involvement for the fall 2017 semester. On the other hand, it would have been a better story had Tago not been required to rack up 240 hours of community service as a result of pleading guilty to an assault charge.
Tago pled guilty to third-degree assault in January 2017 after being charged with second-degree felony robbery and fourth-degree misdemeanor assault after allegedly stealing another man's six-pack of beer, then hitting the man in the head in June 2016.
The American Samoa native was originally suspended from school for two years, but had his suspension lifted that November after a Whitcom County Superior Court Judge found procedural irregularities in how the university handled a similar case against teammate Robert Barber.
