Football Players Plead Guilty
Six MSU football players have plead guilty to assaulting an off-duty police officer.
Cornerback Derek Pegues, safety Keith Fitzhugh, offensive tackle Michael Gates, quarterback Tray Rutland and defensive ends Charles Burnes and Quinton Wesley _ all freshmen _ were each fined $500 and received six-month suspended sentences for misdemeanor simple assault.
There has been no word from Coach Croom on when, or if, he will take them off indefinite suspension, or if they will be allowed to play in the season opener on August 31 against South Carolina.
