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.
