  "summary": "Two Midwestern State football players, Alex Jacoby and Kalauti \"Junior\" Heimuli, were arrested on Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, for separate charges, according to booking records. Jacoby, a junior safety from San Jose, California, was arrested for evading arrest or detention with a vehicle and released the same day after a $25,000 surety bond was set. Heimuli, a junior linebacker from West Valley City, Utah, was arrested for public intoxication and also released on personal recognizance. Midwestern State Director of Athletics Kyle Williams stated that the university will handle the situation internally and that there will be discipline taken against the players. Both players remain on the team's roster and the arrests occurred during the team's bye week.",
