Iowa State starting quarterback Hunter Dekkers was charged with tampering with records involving the ongoing sports gambling investigation of athletes at Iowa State and Iowa, according to Iowa court records.
According to documents filed in Iowa District Court for Story County, Dekkers and his parents “engaged in a scheme” to allow the quarterback “to disguise his identity and manipulate online/mobile transactions in order to create the appearance that sports wager transactions” were conducted by his mother, Jami Dekkers, on a DraftKings sportsbook platform.According to the complaint, Hunter Dekkers, 22, was 20 years old when he used DraftKings, which is illegal in Iowa.
“We are in the process of gathering information and will have no further comment at this time,” Iowa State senior associate athletic director Nick Joos said.In early May, officials at Iowa State andwere notified that several athletes were under investigation for gambling on sports. Iowa has 26 athletes from five sports under investigation, while Iowa State has 15 athletes from three sports.
Dekkers was an honorable mention All-Big 12 quarterback last year and started all 12 games. He threw for 3,044 yards, the fourth most in a single season in school history and the third most in the Big 12 last season. He had a Big 12-best completion rate of 66.1 percent, which ranked fifth in single-season school history and was 23rd nationally.
If Dekkers can’t play this fall, that would mean two inexperienced quarterbacks would vie for the starting job. Redshirt freshman
