COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Authorities have charged former Missouri wide receiver Keyon Dilosa with assault after a woman accused him of punching her in the face.

The Boone County prosecutor's office said Dilosa was charged Friday with third-degree domestic assault. The prosecutor's office also said it's asking that Dilosa's bond terms include him not having any contact with the alleged victim.

The Missouri Tigers dismissed Dilosa after police arrested him following a fight with a woman near a downtown Columbia bar late last month.

Dilosa, a native of Round Rock, Texas, played in three games this season. He made 11 catches for 86 yards during his freshman season in 2015.

It's unclear whether Dilosa has a lawyer.
