Iowa State Cyclones starting quarterback Hunter Dekkers is accused of placing bets on 26 Iowa State sporting events, including a 2021 football game against Oklahoma State when he was the backup quarterback as a sophomore.

A criminal complaint filed against Dekkers by the Story County Attorney’s Office charges him with "tampering with records related to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation’s probe into sports gambling," per the Des Moines Register.

The complaint was filed in Iowa District Court and adds that Dekkers allegedly used a DraftKings account to make mobile or online sports bets that totaled "over $2,799."

Dekkers could be permanently banned from NCAA eligibility if found guilty of the accusations. Rules strictly prohibit student-athletes from wagering on other sports at their own schools, let alone their own games. 

"We are in the process of gathering information and will have no further comment at this time," said Iowa State University senior associate athletic director Nick Joos.
