Michigan State defensive end Auston Robertson was charged withย third-degree criminal sexual conduct Friday.

According to Kyle Austin of MLive.com, Robertson was suspended from the team April 9 in relation to the investigation.

According toย Scout.com, Robertson was a 4-star prospect out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, prior to committing to Michigan State.

The 19-year-old could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
