Colorado State Withholds Action on MacRenato

Leon Fuller, Colorado State football coach, said Thursday that no disciplinary action will be taken against fullback Paul MacRenato until his case is resolved.

MacRenato, a former University City High School player, was arrested late Monday for suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon and suspicion of criminal impersonation. His case was to be reviewed by a Larimer County district attorney’s screening officer, who will determine if charges will be filed.

Fuller said he has not decided whether MacRenato will make the trip Saturday to Salt Lake City for a game with Utah. Regardless, Fuller said, MacRenato will not start.
