After more than seven months of investigation, claims of prejudiced prosecution and charges struck down only to be filed again, the last two Penn State football players implicated in an October fight have accepted a plea deal for misdemeanor charges.

Linebacker Navorro Bowman and defensive tackle Phil Taylor both entered guilty pleas Friday morning to one count each of disorderly conduct, Centre County Probation Director Tom Young said.

As ordered by Centre County Judge Bradley Lunsford, each will serve one year of probation, work 100 hours community service and pay a combined $786 in restitution to the victim and Penn State.

Both had been originally charged with more serious offenses in the HUB-Robeson Center brawl that left a Philadelphia man bloodied, his nose broken. Bowman, named by the victim as having starting the fight, faced counts of aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment. Taylor -- who fellow defensive tackle Chris Baker said punched the victim while he was on the ground, according to the criminal complaint -- had been charged with simple assault and harassment.

All charges except disorderly conduct were dropped in the plea agreement with the prosecution.

Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers said Friday the players' guilty pleas would not affect their Penn State Judicial Affairs hearings, nor cut short Taylor's summer expulsion.

Neither Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira nor Penn State sports information director Jeff Nelson immediately returned calls seeking comment.
