FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Authorities say a University of Wyoming football player is dead and three teammates injured after the pickup they were in drifted off a Colorado highway and crashed.

The Colorado State Patrol says 19-year-old Ruben Narcisse of Miami was killed in the early Monday crash.

Nineteen-year-old Trey Fox of Glenwood Springs, Colo., 18-year-old Christian Morgan of Aurora, Colo., and 19-year-old J.J. Quinlan of Everett, Wash., were injured.

Troopers say Morgan's injuries were serious but were not believed to be life-threatening. Fox had moderate injuries.

The nature and extent of Quinlan's injuries weren't known.

Colorado troopers say Fox was driving and apparently fell asleep. Investigators say alcohol and drugs aren't believed to be factors.
