Indiana’s record-breaking tight end who was arrested in February is back with the team.
IU head football coach Tom Allen suspended redshirt junior Peyton Hendershot after he was charged with entering the apartment of a former girlfriend without her permission. He was also accused of grabbing and shoving the woman.
Allen said Hendershot completed his team-sanctioned discipline and is back on campus.
“He's been completely cleared and he is back with the team now fully as he completed all the things that he was asked to do,” Allen said.
