Bruce, 20, originally charged with tampering with records, entered a written plea in Johnson County Associate District Court, admitting to a lesser charge of underage gambling, a simple misdemeanor. He faces a $645 fine.

In the plea agreement, Bruce, who entered the transfer portal in 2022 and now plays for Oklahoma State, admitted to placing the bets on sporting events on or about March 12, 2021.

He also waived the one-year statute of limitations regarding the charge.
