MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Three Kansas State University football players were arrested over the weekend, including a talented freshman on an outstanding warrant and two others on suspicion of impaired driving.

Redshirt freshman running back Jacardia Wright was arrested early Sunday near the university on an outstanding warrant for failing to show proof of insurance. Wright rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown last season in three games. Riley County police spokeswoman Hali Rowland said Wright was freed on bond.

Freshman linebacker DeMarrquese Hayes and redshirt sophomore linebacker Nick Allen were arrested in separate incidents Saturday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Roland said both had been freed on bond.

'œWe are aware of the situations and will handle any disciplinary action internally,'ť Kansas State athletics spokesman Ryan Lackey said in a statement.

The Riley County prosecutor's office had not received reports on the arrests Monday morning, and it was not clear if the three players had attorneys.
