Former Oklahoma State assistant Lamont Evans pleaded guilty to the federal bribery charge that led to his firing by the school in September of 2017, it was announced on Wednesday.
Evans was accused of accepting $22,000 worth of bribes to try to convince players at both South Carolina and Oklahoma State to sign with certain financial advisers and managers once they became pros. He was arrested while on staff at OSU under Mike Boynton. He served under Brad Underwood the year before.
This was part of a far-reaching FBI sting that saw numerous coaches being charged as well as former Adidas consultant Merl Code and Adidas executive James Gatto being convicted of federal fraud charges.
