BELLEFONTE, Pa.—Two Penn State football players have each pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in connection with an on-campus fight last year.

Linebacker Navorro Bowman and defensive tackle Phil Taylor appeared in court Friday to plead guilty to a disorderly conduct charge in exchange for prosecutors' dropping more serious assault charges.

Each is sentenced to one year of probation and 100 hours of community service.

Two other players police say were involved in the Oct. 7 fight have already resolved their cases.

All four had been charged for allegedly beating up a Philadelphia man who was attending a party at Penn State.
