Syracuse, N.Y. -- Two Syracuse football players were arrested for stealing two pairs of "Yeezy" boots, a laptop computer and a PlayStation 4, according to Sgt

Redshirt freshman defensive end Jaquwan Nelson, 19, was charged Thursday with second-degree burglary and fourth-degree grand larceny. Redshirt freshman safety Devon Clarke, 19, was charged Friday with second-degree burglary and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.

The arrests were made following a burglary investigation into an incident reported on Dec. 26, 2016.
