3 former Texas Tech players indicted in home burglary

A Lubbock County grand jury on Tuesday indicted three former Texas Tech football players accused in the burglary of a Southwest Lubbock home.

Dakota Allen, 20, Robert Castaneda, 21, and Trace Ellison, 18, are charged with a second-degree felony count of burglary of a habitation, which carries a punishment of two to 20 years in prison.

Allen, a 6-foot, 2-inch, 224-pound sophomore linebacker from Humble Summer Creek, is being represented by Houston attorney Guy Womack, who described his client as a “great kid from a great family.”

He said Allen’s family is heartbroken that he’s been charged.
