Police are investigating a reported rape that allegedly occurred at the home of Nebraska football players Tommy Armstrong and Jordan Westerkamp, according to the Lincoln Journal Star.

The alleged victim says she was assaulted at the home some time Sunday morning. Police said she reported the assault at a local hospital Sunday afternoon.

Armstrong, the Huskers’ starting quarterback, told the Omaha World-Herald that police interviewed him, Westerkamp and tight end Trey Foster on Sunday.

“After talking to us, (the police) said you guys should be fine,” Armstrong told the World-Herald.

“We’re confused about the whole situation,” Armstrong added. “From what we’re hearing, everything was consensual.”

Police have contacted a suspect in the case, Lincoln police officer Kathleen Flood told KETV, but no arrests have been made.
