Iowa State quarterback Hunter Dekkers was accused of betting on Cyclones sports, including a football game, in a new criminal complaint filed on Tuesday.

Dekkers was accused of placing 26 bets on Iowa State sporting events, according to a criminal complaint filed on Tuesday by the Story County Attorney’s Office, via The Des Moines Register. In total, Dekkers placed approximately 366 sports wagers through his DraftKings account that totaled “over $2,799.”

One of those bets included an Iowa State football game against Oklahoma State in 2021. The Cyclones beat Oklahoma State in that game, when Dekkers served as a backup to starting quarterback Brock Purdy. Dekkers did not play in that game. It’s unclear what bet he placed on that game specifically, or what other 25 Iowa State bets Dekkers allegedly placed.
