The attorney for an Ohio State University student who ran onto the Ohio Stadium field during a football game on Saturday night said yesterday that his client has lost his full-ride scholarship because of the incident. Anthony J. Wunder, 21, hit the field in the second quarter of the game between the Buckeyes and the Cincinnati Bearcats. He was quickly tackled by former OSU linebacker Anthony Schlegel, now an assistant coach for the Buckeyes.

The attorney for an Ohio State University student who ran onto the Ohio Stadium field during a football game on Saturday night said yesterday that his client has lost his full-ride scholarship because of the incident.

Anthony J. Wunder, 21, hit the field in the second quarter of the game between the Buckeyes and the Cincinnati Bearcats. He was quickly tackled by former OSU linebacker Anthony Schlegel, now an assistant coach for the Buckeyes.

Wunder, a Cincinnati resident, was hauled off the field by Schlegel and security staff members, and the resulting photo and video quickly went viral.

The mechanical-engineering student waived his first court appearance on a criminal-trespassing charge yesterday. His attorney, Mark Collins, entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf and asked for a jury trial.

The case will be assigned to a Franklin County Municipal Court judge.

Collins said that Wunder was told yesterday by the Evans Scholars program that Wunder has lost his scholarship with the program. Collins also said that Wunder is no longer living in the Evans Scholars house.

Collins, however, said that Wunder remains enrolled at Ohio State. He is a fourth-year student in a five-year engineering program, Collins said.

The nonprofit Evans Scholars Foundation gives academic awards to college students who have served as golf caddies.

Collins said yesterday that he has spoken to Wunder and his parents, and the student is doing well.

"He's working and focusing on day-to-day stuff and letting me handle this (legal) stuff," Collins said.

The lawyer said that he will be looking into all options to resolve the case "in the near future" and try to find a way for Wunder to keep his scholarship.

Collins said he couldn't comment on why Wunder ran onto the field or whether the tackle by Schlegel was too hard.

"Those are things we're going to look at and issues we're going to address," he said.

Wunder will not talk to the media before the case is resolved, Collins said.

A court complaint said that Wunder was intoxicated at the time of the incident. He was booked into the Franklin County jail, then released after he posted a $79 bond on Sunday.

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