Washington Redskins draft pick Cody Glenn has admitted that he lied when he told reporters that his suspension at Nebraska last season stemmed from his selling football tickets.

Glenn told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he made up the story about selling his tickets, which would have been a violation of NCAA rules. The fifth-round pick said he wanted to satisfy reporters and get them to quit asking him about the suspension.

The university athletic department told media outlets Monday that it had no knowledge of Glenn selling tickets.

Glenn says he went with the ticket story because he knew that was one of the rumors circulating about him.

He wouldn’t disclose the real reason for his suspension, which kept him out of the last three games.
