Jirehl Brock and three other Iowa State football gamers along with three existing or former Iowa football gamers and a trainee assistant were charged Thursday in connection with the state's investigation into illegal sports wagering at the two schools.


A total of 15 football and basketball gamers and staffers with ties to the schools have actually been charged given that recently in the ongoing investigation. Current professional athletes deal with a loss of eligibility for violating NCAA betting guidelines.


Brock and ISU teammates Isaiah Lee, DeShawn Hanika and Jacob Remsburg were charged in Story County on suspicion of tampering with records to camouflage that they were under the legal wagering age of 21 at the time they put wagers. Former Iowa players Arland Bruce IV and Reggie Bracy, existing Iowa player Jack Johnson and student assistant Owen O'Brien face the same charge in Johnson County.


Brock, the Cyclones' leading rusher last season, positioned 1,327 illegal wagers amounting to over $12,000 between February 2022 and February 2023. The bets were made on a FanDuel account controlled by him but registered under the name of Lindzey Paysen. Paysen's relationship to Brock was unidentified.


Brock is accused of making bets on 3 Iowa State football games, two in which he played, and 13 ISU basketball video games.


Lee, a protective lineman, made 115 wagers amounting to over $885 between September 2021 and January 2023 on FanDuel. Among them were 21 wagers on seven ISU football video games in 2021 and five more games in 2022. He played in each of the games. His account was registered under the name of a woman referred to as his fiancee, Kayla Cameron.


Hanika, a tight end, made 288 wagers totaling $1,262 between March 2022 and April 2023 through DraftKings, with 70 of the bets on ISU basketball games. His account was registered under the name of his mother, Kim Hanika.


Remsburg, an offending lineman, made 273 wagers amounting to $1,108 between May 2022 and February 2023 through FanDuel. Six bets were on ISU basketball and football video games. Remsburg's account was registered under the name Keri Remsburg. The filing also referenced a DraftKings account signed up under the name of his mother, Keri Meis. It was unclear whether Keri Remsburg and Keri Meis are the very same individual.


Bruce, a receiver who began 12 of 25 games before moving to Oklahoma State, made 132 bets amounting to $4,342 with DraftKings. Among those were wagers on 6 Iowa football video games in 2021 and six more video games last season. Bruce played in each of the games. His account was registered under the name of Vincent Bruce, whose relationship to Arland was not noted.


Bracy, a defensive back who is now at Troy, used the DraftKings accounted signed up to Vincent Bruce to place 66 bets amounting to $715 between February and November 2022. He made 8 bets on Iowa sporting occasions, including 2 football video games in which he played.


Johnson, a walk-on receiver, made 480 bets amounting to over $2,500 with DraftKings between September 2021 and January 2023. Of the bets, about 380 totaling $1,800 were made before he was of legal age. All were on an account registered under the name of his mother, Jill Johnson.


O'Brien was a student assistant prior to becoming a graduate assistant in December. O'Brien made 350 wagers totaling over $3,047 with FanDuel between March 2021 and December 2022. All were on an account registered under the name of his mom, Audra O'Brien.


No lawyers were listed in the filings.


The Des Moines Register was first to report the newest charges.


"Since becoming aware of potential NCAA eligibility issues related to sports wagering by several of our student-athletes back in May, Iowa State University has actually been actively working to deal with these problems with the involved student-athletes, which procedure remains continuous," Iowa State senior athletics director Nick Joos stated in a statement. "We will continue to support our student-athletes as our compliance personnel deals with the NCAA to arrange out questions surrounding their future eligibility for athletics competition."


Iowa spokesperson Matthew Weitzel said the university had no remark. He stated he expected football coach Kirk Ferentz to attend to the concern at the group's media day Friday.


Last week, charges were filed against Iowa State starting quarterback Hunter Dekkers, ISU offending lineman Dodge Sauser, ISU wrestler Panioro Johnson, previous ISU defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike, former Iowa basketball gamer Ahron Ulis, Iowa baseball player Gehrig Christensen and Iowa kicker Aaron Blom.
