Athletic department officials say Taufoou has been disciplined according to the school's Student-Athlete Discipline Policy. He is eligible to play on Saturday against Kansas State.

Taufoou, a reserve, didn't play in the last two games against Kent State and Army, but Iowa State officials wouldn't say if that was related to the theft. He has one tackle this season.
