Flanker Lamar Thomas and reserve fullback Jason Marucci of the University of Miami were indicted by a federal grand jury, charged with fraudulently obtaining federal financial aid, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Both players were charged in an ongoing fraud investigation started more than a year ago at Miami, last year’s national champion, involving Pell grants, a form of federal financial aid for needy students. The indictment said Thomas received about $2,300 in Pell grant money and Marucci wrongfully obtained about $4,550.
