When asked to comment on Nash's status, UTEP head coach Keitha Adams said the following: "I'm not able to comment on it, but one thing I will say, I care about Jenzel. I'll say my prayers for her. I can't comment any more about the situation."

Per Borunda, the 23-year-old is alleged to have lied about her monthly salary to obtain separate loans in 2014 and 2015. Her boyfriend—former New Mexico State University football player Terrance Yelder—was also indicted.

Each charge against her could carry a prison sentence of up to 30 years.
