Two Arizona State University football players have been dismissed from the program after a weekend arrest.

Jayme Otomewo and Deonte Reynolds were arrested for 2nd degree burglary charges.

"They've been dismissed from the program, and that's about all I can say," ASU coach Todd Graham said Tuesday.

"Everybody in our program is clear and understands the expectations and our standards and our values, and they understand that upfront."

According to court documents, officers responded to burglary in progress at Vista del Sol student housing near Apache Boulevard and Rural Road.

When officers arrived on the scene they found the suspects outside of the residence. Both men admitted to entering the home unlawfully.

One of the men was found with a stolen credit card from the residence.

Sources tell ABC15, the football players were booked on Sunday and have already bonded out of jail.

Both players did not see much playing time this season.
