The two allegedly asked the man if he was a Seahawks fans, and the man replied, "Yes. Are you?" The man was punched in the face before neighbors could come to the area to assist.

Police said Miles and Stringfellow were also  involved in a prior incident that night, where Miles tried to stop a woman from filming a Seahawks celebration. Stringfellow charged the woman, which resulted in the breaking of the woman's camera. Miles left that scene and was not charged.

Both were suspended from the football program on Feb. 5.

Miles, a sophomore, is expected to take over the Huskies' quarterback job this year.

Stringfellow had 20 catches and 259 yards in 12 games for the team last year.

UW did not say where Stringfellow would be transferring.
