Tom Herman‘s first recruiting class at Texas has gotten off to an inauspicious off-the-field start.
According to FOX23.com, Reese Leitao was arrested at his Oklahoma high school Tuesday on a charge of possession/delivery of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to sell within a thousand feet of a school. The television station’s website wrote that “Leitao admitted to a Jenks administrator he was selling the Xanax.”
From the station’s report:
Leitao was a three-star 2017 signee, rated as the No. 19 tight end in the country and the No. 8 player at any position in the state of Oklahoma.
A statement attributed to Herman was sent out a short time ago.
“We’re aware of the situation involving our signee, Reese Leitao,” the first year head coach said. “We’re collecting information, will talk to Reese and his family, let the legal system run its course and then address it further at the appropriate time.”
