Egbunu's former summer coach, Linzy Davis, confirmed to ESPN that he has been contacted and spoken to the NCAA. USF said in a statement Friday it had been "contacted" by the NCAA over "concerns involving one of our student-athletes."

"We have initiated a review of the matter and have asked the NCAA to assist us," the school's statement said.
