Iowa State RB Jirehl Brock, three other starters charged in gambling investigation
View Date:2024-12-23 19:51:18
Iowa State running back Jirehl Brock has been charged with tampering with records as part of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation’s gambling probe, according to court records.
Brock was the Cyclones’ leading rusher a year ago but has been held out of practice this fall due to an undisclosed reason.
Also charged Thursday with tampering with records were Cyclones football players Isaiah Lee, DeShawn Hanika and Jacob Remsburg.
All four were starters on the Cyclones' 2022 team.

Iowa State quarterback Hunter Dekkers, along with former Cyclones Enyi Uwazurike and Dodge Sauser, were all previously charged with tampering with records as part of the probe. Iowa State wrestler Paniro Johnson and a number of University of Iowa student-athletes were also charged.
All are accused of placing bets in accounts registered in the names of third parties but controlled by the student-athletes, according to the criminal complaints.
Brock is alleged to have placed wagers on four Iowa State football games while a member of the team. It is also alleged that he bet 13 times on Iowa State basketball, according to the criminal complaint.
Of the four Iowa State football games Brock allegedly placed a bet on, he played in two. Those games were the 2022 contests against Kansas State and Iowa.
Brock is alleged to have placed a total of 1,327 wagers for over $12,050, according to court records.
Lee, a defensive tackle, is accused of placing 26 wagers on 12 Iowa State football games, including a bet on Texas to beat the Cyclones in 2021, a game which he played. Iowa State beat Texas, 30-7, and Lee had one tackle. He is accused of placing a total of 115 bets for over $885, according to court records.
Hanika, a tight end, is accused of placing 70 bets on Iowa State basketball, according to the complaint. In total, Hanika is alleged to have placed 288 wagers for over $1,262.
All three could face permanent NCAA ineligibility under the governing body's rules against gambling on a student-athlete's own games or on other sports at their school.
Remsburg, an offensive lineman, is accused of placing a total of 273 wagers for a total of over $1,108, according to authorities. Six of those alleged wagers were on NCAA basketball and football games, though none are alleged to have involved Iowa State, according to court records. He could face a suspension of up to half of the football season for placing wagers on college football.
"You always have concern, especially with how things have evolved over the course of the summer," Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said last week of the potential of further developments in the gambling probe. "What you try to do is continue to evaluate the situation for what it is."
Iowa State, which went 4-8 last season, opens the the 2023 season on Sept. 2 against Northern Iowa.
