Notre Dame freshman wide receiver Justin Brent is dating Lisa Ann, a 42-year-old adult film star, reports claim. The couple took advantage of the teenager’s bye week to attend a New York Knicks preseason basketball game on Wednesday, where they posed for several photos together.

The pair’s trip to the Knicks game was an “official date,” sources told TMZ Sports. The porn star purportedly met Brent while traveling and decided to give him her number.

Later, a tipster sent Deadspin a photo of Ann and Brent in bed together. She took to Twitter on Thursday to address the rumored relationship. “I am very entertained today by the incredible amount of commentary about my date to the [Knicks] game last night,” Ann wrote. “I am a women [sic] not held back by my age, lucky for me, because the writers seem to make me out to be a dinosaur. 42 is not old, it is amazing! The irony here is successful, older men have had beautiful young women in their arms in the past… Now it is my turn to mix it up!”

A former four-star recruit, Brent was ranked the 64th-best high school football player in the nation by Scout.com, according to his official Notre Dame bio. The Speedway, Indiana, native has yet to catch a pass this season for the Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame’s football team owns a 6-1 record this season, with their only loss coming at the hands of the defending national champion Florida State Seminoles. The Fighting Irish will return to action Nov. 1 for their annual rivalry matchup against the Navy Midshipmen.
