Two former Penn State football players − both dismissed from the university in August − will face felony charges in Centre County Court.
Court documents filed Tuesday show that former defensive players Jameial Lyons and Kaveion Keys will be charged with felony rape, aggravated indecent assault, sexual assault and other misdemeanor charges. The Centre Daily Times first reported that the docket sheets for Lyons and Keys were online.
