Kyle Rittenhouse has stated that he will attend Texas A&M next year despite the university’s claims that he is not enrolled.
Rittenhouse, who was convicted of murder charges last year after fatally shooting two men during the 2020 Kenosha riots, announced his decision to attend Texas A&M on the Charlie Kirk Show last Friday.
Kirk exclaimed, “Wow, Kyle Rittenhouse is announcing he’s an Aggie,” referring to the 19-year-wearing old’s of a maroon A&M cap.
‘I’m going there, and it’s going to be fantastic,’ Rittenhouse said to Kirk. ‘Amazing people, amazing food,’ says one student.
However, a Texas A&M spokesman informed the Texas Tribune on Sunday that he had not been accepted and would not disclose if he had even applied.
Rittenhouse then reiterated on Monday that he would be attending Blinn College as a ‘feeder school’ for the institution.
Rittenhouse claimed that his arrest on murder accusations ‘robbed’ him of his high school career, therefore he will attend the feeder school before enrolling at A&M in 2023.
‘Unfortunately, I was robbed of the finish of my high school career. I lacked the time that other students have to adequately prepare for the future.
‘This year, I’m excited to attend Blinn College District, a feeder school for Texas A&M University.’ ‘I’m looking forward to starting at Texas A&M in 2023,’ Rittenhouse tweeted.
Rittenhouse later tweeted that he would be going to Texas before the end of the month and that he would be saying goodbye to Arizona State University by tweeting a photo of his ID.
According to the Tribune, Rittenhouse claimed to be studying nursing at ASU, but a spokesman explained that he was not enrolled and had not gone through the admissions process.
