Officials say there was insufficient evidence to move the case forward, so all charges were dropped.

The two freshmen football stars were suspended from the team when they played the Ohio State Buckeyes last season.

The two were also teammates in high school. They both graduated from DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville.
