<p>OXFORD, Ohio -- A Miami of Ohio football player is accused of entering two unlocked dorm rooms and holding a pillow over the face of a female student sleeping in one of the rooms.</p>

<p>University police Capt. Jason Willis said offensive lineman Zachary S. Marshall was arrested Thursday on charges of aggravated burglary, burglary and assault. </p>

<p>He is accused of going into the rooms on May 21.</p>

<p>Marshall was released from the Butler County jail Friday after his mother posted bail of $26,000. The 21-year-old player is suspended from the team pending further investigation, the school said.</p>

<p>Marshall could not be reached for comment Friday. There was no phone listing for him on campus, in Oxford, or in his hometown of Mason, Ohio. </p>

<p>No excuse for this behavior under any circumstances. This incident has shocked the Miami community, as we rarely have issues of this nature with our student athletes. Miami student athletes have a good reputation (not to mention a very high graduation rate overall). Much better, in fact, than many other Ohio universities. This is a black eye for Miami U, but certainly not an accurate reflection of the overall behavior of Miami students or safety of the campus.</p>
