Texas A&M University refutes claim Rittenhouse will be attending school

Speaking with show host Charlie Kirk, Rittenhouse put on a baseball hat featuring the A&M logo, mimicking a move commonly made by high school athletes announcing which university they will attend.

Texas A&M told media outlets the 18-year-old had not been admitted for the fall or summer.

School representatives also told the Dallas Morning News and the Battalion, the Texas A&M student newspaper, that Rittenhouse was not admitted.

On Monday, Rittenhouse said he would not be attending Texas A&M. Instead, he will be attending Blinn College, a community college in Brenham, Texas.

Richard Bray, a Blinn College representative, confirmed to the Guardian via email that Rittenhouse had applied but was not yet enrolled for any classes.

Rittenhouse also tweeted that he would be moving to Texas at the end of June.

Rittenhouse admitted killing two people in August 2020 after traveling from his home in Illinois to a demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. He maintained he was acting in self-defense and was acquitted at trial.
