Two NU freshmen cited for MIPs
Husker freshmen Andrew Rodriguez and Tobi Okuyemi were cited for minor in possession by consumption early Sunday morning in the Knoll Residential Center.
Rodriguez and Okuyemi, both 19, were among four UNL freshmen cited in the new residence hall just before 2 a.m. Sunday.
Carl Oestmann, director of patrol operations for University of Nebraska-Lincoln Police, said a person reported hearing shouting and loud talk about consuming vodka coming from a third-floor room.
A UNL police officer was called to the room, where the officer smelled alcohol.
"Some of the individuals did admit to drinking alcoholic beverages at an off-campus location in Lincoln," Oestmann said.
NU coach Bo Pelini confirmed Monday he was aware of the incident, but he declined to discuss if the players would face discipline.
"It's already been handled," Pelini said. "I already handled it."
Pelini said both players participated in Monday's two-hour practice.
Rodriguez, a 6-foot-6, 325-pound lineman from Aurora, impressed in fall camp and is considered one of Nebraska's top backups at guard.
Okuyemi, a native of Maple Grove, Minn., is likely a redshirt candidate at defensive end.
