Colorado linebacker Nu'umotu Falo and running back Donald Gordon have been suspended indefinitely by the team after being arrested Thursday morning for allegedly stealing from a dorm room, according to Mitchell Byars of dailycamera.com.

The two freshmen were booked into the Boulder County Jail on suspicion of second-degree burglary, theft between $2,000 and $4,999, drug possession, and second-degree trespassing. They'll appear in court later Thursday.

CU police spokesman Scott Pribble said Falo and Gordon are alleged to have stolen several items from a dorm room in Willard Hall earlier this month, including prescription drugs and laptops.

Buffs head coach Mike MacIntyre suspended Falo and Gordon and was "disappointed" by the allegations, said CU athletics spokesman Dave Plati.

Falo appeared in seven games in 2015, recording 17 tackles, while Gordon was redshirted.
