University of Iowa football player Aaron Blom has been handed criminal charges related to underage sports wagering.

The Johnson County Attorney's Office filed a criminal complaint against Blom, charging the junior kicker with tampering with records related to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation’s probe into sports gambling.

Blom is charged with hiding his identity by using his mother’s name to set up an account with DraftKings. Court documents confirm his mom knowingly consented to Blom’s use of her name and information. Blom admitted to DCI agents that he placed underage online wagers using his mother’s account.
