ROSEVILLE, Calif. -- A San José State football player will have to serve two months in jail after prosecutors say he failed to complete an earlier sentence in a misdemeanor battery case.

Placer County prosecutors say Ryne "Ryno" Gonzalez was ordered Friday to serve 60 days in jail in a case dating back to 2005.

Prosecutors say Gonzalez punched a friend in the face during a confrontation.

After he was eventually convicted in 2008, a Placer County judge ordered Gonzalez to serve 45 days in jail.

But Gonzalez was allowed to serve a day or two at a time to fulfill his sentence.

When it was determined Gonzalez wasn't reporting as required, the judge ordered him to serve 60 consecutive days

The 22-year-old Gonzalez is scheduled to report to jail Dec. 17.
