The Ohio State University student who ran onto the football field Saturday night might not lose his full scholarship after all, according to the association that sponsors the program.

Anthony Wunder, 21, is an Evans Scholar, a program for golf caddies.

On Saturday night, he ran onto the Ohio Stadium field during the Buckeyes game against the Cincinnati Bearcats and was swiftly tackled by former OSU linebacker Anthony Schlegel, now an assistant coach.

Wunder was charged with criminal trespassing. His attorney, Mark C. Collins, pleaded not guilty on his behalf in Franklin County Municipal Court. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Oct. 16.

Criminal trespassing is a fourth-degree misdemeanor punishable by no more than 30 days in jail.

Jeff Harrison, senior vice president for education at the Evans Scholars Foundation, said yesterday that Wunder has been suspended from all activities involving the program. He was asked to move out of the Evans Scholars house on E. 16th Avenue but has not had his scholarship taken away, Harrison said.

Wunder, a fourth-year student in a five-year mechanical-engineering program, remains enrolled at Ohio State.

�We�re doing an internal review and gathering as much information as we can before we make a final determination on his scholarship,� Harrison said.

Evans Scholars have a code of conduct they must follow, Harrison said. He didn�t specify what part of that code Wunder might have broken.

Scholars are required to have a strong caddie record and excellent academics and to demonstrate financial need, according to the organization�s website. They also must be �outstanding in character, integrity and leadership.�

�Anthony is a very nice young man,� Harrison said. �We�re very disappointed in the incident, and he knows he made a very big mistake.�
