Well this isn't one that you see every day.
Last year, Texas A&M wide receiver Kirk Merritt came under charges of indecent exposure following an incident at a tutoring session. On Friday, Merritt pleaded not guilty to those charges, with his defense stating that the incident was caused by a bad case of jock itch.
From the statement:
While Kirk is very embarrassed about this situation, and has apologized to the two tutors that he offended, he did not intend to gratify anyone by exposing himself. The fact is that Kirk had a bad case of jock itch.
Well that's... definitely a unique defense.
Merritt, who transferred from Oregon last year, is still an active participant in Texas A&M's spring practices.
