Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus rejoined the team but when he’ll be able to play is up in the air.
The school expelled Cephus after he was arrested on two counts of sexual assault and announced his reinstatement on Monday after he was found not guilty of the charges. The athletics department later issued a statement stating Cephus was back with the Badgers but had to work through “eligibility issues before he can participate in a game.”
The Wisconsin State Journal said department spokesman Brian Lucas declined to identify the nature of those issues. He said, however, that Cephus’ athletic scholarship had been restored.
Cephus, a 21-year-old Georgia native, said the support of his coaches and teammates during his time away is why he wants to return to Wisconsin.
“I have no reason to run from Wisconsin,” he said, per the Journal. “I am just here to continue my education and play football.”
