Kyle Rittenhouse says he's going to Texas A&M and 'it's going to be awesome.' The university disagrees.

• Kyle Rittenhouse said on "The Charlie Kirk Show" that he would be attending Texas A&M.
• A spokesperson told The Dallas Morning News he hadn't been admitted for the summer or fall semesters.

Kyle Rittenhouse said he would be attending Texas A&M University during an episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show" podcast posted on YouTube Saturday.

"I'm going to be going there, and it's going to be awesome," Rittenhouse said after donning a baseball cap with the university's insignia on it. "Beautiful campus, amazing people, amazing food."

A university spokesperson told The Dallas Morning News on Sunday that Rittenhouse would not be in attendance.

"He has not been admitted as a student this summer or fall," Kelly Brown, the spokesperson, said.

Rittenhouse took online classes at Arizona State University last year but said he dropped them during his homicide trial and wanted to resume them afterward. Students demanded that he be expelled from the university after he was acquitted of the charges against him.

ASU previously told Insider that Rittenhouse was no longer in attendance at the university.

Rittenhouse shot three people, killing two of them, during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020. He argued in court that he shot the three people — Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz — in an act of self-defense.

A jury found Rittenhouse not guilty of five charges, including first-degree homicide.

Rittenhouse recently said he wanted to file lawsuits against media outlets and President Joe Biden over defamation allegations after being inspired by the defamation trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

A spokesperson for Texas A&M did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
