It?s been a tough time for Texas Tech junior linebacker Daniel Cobb since he was arrested on suspicion of burglary of habitation in August, but the Lubbock County District Attorney?s office dropped all charges against Cobb and he has been added back to the Red Raiders? roster.
Cobb is eligible to play immediately and is expected to play Saturday against TCU.
?I know he spent the last two and a half months trying to clear his name from a bad situation,? head coach Tommy Tuberville said in an announcement after his Monday press conference had ended. ?When you do something like that and you?re accused of something, my policy is to make sure that everything?s above board and that they have to clear their name. He?s done it all on his own.
?He?s been cleared by the district attorney. No wrongdoing whatsoever. He?s had to clear his name. The kid?s going to graduate in two months (after) three and a half years in business. Never gave us one bit of problem.?But it cost him two and a half months of playing college football and six games.?
Tuberville continued.
?I?m proud of what he stood for,? he said. ?He?s worked hard to clear his name. He?s been cleared a hundred percent. He was talked about quite a bit now by the media when he was accused. So I need your help to help clear his name. There are no charges. There was nothing ever done. He was a hundred percent innocent, and we?re glad to have him back on the team because that?s pretty tough on a kid that age that had never done anything wrong in his life in terms of crossing the line and then accused of a felony. Then having to go through that himself, I mean, that?s a growing?up process. I can?t imagine having to do that.
?So we?re glad to have him back. He?s back a hundred percent member of the team and will play this week. So we?re looking forward to Daniel being part of it, and we?re glad everything worked out.?
Cobb, a redshirt junior and a starter last season, joins what is statistically the nation?s No. 4 defense in terms of total yardage. He could be a big help on Texas Tech?s kickoff coverage and other various special teams and adds extra depth to the linebacker rotation.
