Episode Details

BYU football star Ephraim Asiata, the teen survivor of a school shooting who’s now a rising athlete, is facing multiple misdemeanor charges after a July 3rd arrest—including DUI, using a fake ID, underage drinking, driving without a license, and having an open container. A deputy pulled him over for erratic driving, smelled alcohol, and discovered he’d lied about his identity. Asiata admitted to using a fake California license to buy booze and refused a chemical test, prompting a warrant for blood and urine tests—both came back positive for alcohol and THC. His past, including surviving a 15-year-old shooting that killed two others and being the son of former NFL player Matt Asiata, adds gravity to the situation. BYU says they’re reviewing the case; while he remains on the roster, he could face serious disciplinary action for violating the school’s honor code on alcohol and drugs.
