A former University of South Dakota football player will go to prison for his role in a tax fraud scheme.

Christopher Lundy, 23, was sentenced to the mandatory minimum sentence of 2 years in prison. He pleaded guilty in August to aggravated identity theft.

Lundy told authorities he gathered the birth dates, names and social security numbers of six different people as part of the scheme orchestrated by several USD students more than two years ago.
