SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Michael Floyd has been cleared to remain at Notre Dame, giving the suspended wide receiver a shot at being reinstated to the Irish football team.
Floyd announced Saturday that he was grateful for the outcome of Friday’s disciplinary hearing, saying in a statement that he hopes to return to the team and graduate from the school.
Coach Brian Kelly suspended Floyd on March 21, the day after he was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. It was his third run-in with the law over alcohol since 2009. He has a May 2 court date.
Kelly had no “drop-dead” date for a decision on whether Floyd will be reinstated to the team.
Floyd is Notre Dame’s career leader in touchdown catches (28) and ranks second in school history in catches (171) and third in receiving yards (2,539).
