June 6, 2022

Texas A&M University is disputing a claim by Kyle Rittenhouse that he will be enrolling at the university.

Rittenhouse said he would be enrolling at A&M in an appearance on The Charlie Kirk Show posted to YouTube Saturday, Insider reported. “I’m going to be going there, and it’s going to be awesome,” Rittenhouse said, wearing a baseball cap with the university’s insignia on it. “Beautiful campus, amazing people, amazing food.”

But an A&M spokesperson disagreed that he is a future student. “He has not been admitted as a student this summer or fall,” Kelly Brown told The Dallas Morning News.

Rittenhouse shot three people, killing two of them, in 2020, in Wisconsin. A jury found him not guilty of first-degree homicide and four other charges.
