Police were called after a fight was reported at the restaurant around 2:40 a.m. Saturday morning, the paper said. Whether a disagreement about the quality of Whataburger’s spicy ketchup started the fight has yet to be determined.

Hicks, a running back, earned All-Big 12 honorable mention in 2016 when he rushed for 1,042 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also led the team in receptions, 47, and was third in receiving yards, 417. In his first two seasons with the Horned Frogs, he combined for 422 yards and three scores. He’ll be a senior in 2017.

Henderson and Baltimore are also facing public intoxication charges. Baltimore, who left the team in 2015 after multiple shoulder surgeries, was hit with a resisting arrest charge as well. Henderson played in a combined 21 games in 2014 and 2015, but was not on the roster this season.
