Two Iowa State players – Jake Rhoads and Terry Ayeni – are facing legal issues after separate incidents that occurred following Saturday’s spring game.
According to the Des Moines Register, Rhoads, the son of Cyclones head coach Paul Rhoads, was charged with public intoxication at 11:25 p.m. Saturday night. Rhoads, 20, is a redshirt sophomore wide receiver who caught three passes for 24 yards for the Cyclones last season.
Ayeni, a 6-foot-2, 278-pound defensive lineman, was arrested for disorderly conduct – a simple misdemeanor – early Sunday morning. Officers were called to break up a “scuffle” and saw Ayeni “punch a guy in the head,” according to Sgt. Joel Congdon of the Ames PD.
Ayeni, a redshirt junior, sat out the 2014 season due to a knee injury.
“We are aware of the situations involving our student-athletes,” Paul Rhoads said in a statement Sunday morning. “We are now in the process of gathering more facts and information.”
Coming off a 2-10 season, the Cyclones open their 2015 season against Northern Iowa on Sept. 5.
