Authorities arrested the three players after watching surveillance video.
Police told WTVG-13 that Kemp was seen putting the bouncer in a chokehold and the other two men were seen punching him.
Ridley and Kemp pleaded not guilty, while court records only show Goodloe’s attorney filed an initial appearance form, according to WTOL-11 TV.
Bowling Green State University’s online football roster shows Ridley is a wide receiver, Kemp is a fullback, and Goodloe is a wide receiver.
The university didn’t provide a statement to either university, citing FERPA policy.
