Authorities say a University of Wyoming football player was killed and three teammates were injured when a pickup 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. It happened on Highway 287, just six miles south of the Wyoming border.

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