DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two Iowa State University football players were arrested in separate incidents after Saturday’s spring game. The Des Moines Register reports 20-year-old Jack Rhoads, who is the son of coach Paul Rhoads, was one of the two players arrested. The other player was 23-year-old Terry Ayeni.

Neither player appeared in court. They were no longer in custody Sunday morning. Coach Paul Rhoads said he’s aware of the situation and will gather more information before deciding what discipline the players will face. Police records say that Jack Rhoads was arrested around 11:30 p.m. Saturday on suspicion of public intoxication.

Ames Police Sergeant Joel Congdon says officers say Ayeni punch another man early Sunday when they were called to break up a scuffle. He is suspected of disorderly conduct.
