Washington State President Kirk Schulz confirmed to Spokane TV station SWX that linebacker Logan Tago will be suspended and not allowed to play with the football team because of his legal issues.
Tago was charged with second degree felony robbery and fourth degree misdemeanor assault on Monday, Whitman County Prosecutor Denis Tracy announced.
However, when asked about Tago’s status for this weekend’s game against UCLA, WSU football coach Mike Leach said on Monday that “if I have anything to do with it, he’ll play until proven guilty.”
But under WSU’s athletic department policy, any student-athlete charged with a felony is not allowed to participate in intercollegiate athletics.
