WSU linebacker Logan Tago will practice while suspended

PULLMAN – Washington State linebacker Logan Tago will continue to practice with the team while suspended. Athletic director Bill Moos issued a statement on Wednesday clarifying Tago’s status.

“With a felony charge now having been filed, our department code of conduct policy dictates that, absent extraordinary circumstances, student-athletes are not permitted to represent WSU athletics in outside competition until such time as the case is resolved,” the statement read. “I firmly believe in the notion that a person is innocent until proven guilty, so while the legal matter is ongoing, Logan will be allowed to practice with the team, though that will be determined by the head coach.”

Tago participated in practices this week that occurred after Whitman County prosecutor Dennis Tracy filed charges against him for felony robbery and gross misdemeanor assault. His initial hearing in the Whitman County Superior Court is scheduled for Nov. 4.
