Texas Longhorns signee Reese Leitao will be allowed to enroll at the school as scheduled after his felony drug charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, according to ESPN.com's Jake Trotter.

"Based on several discussions with people who know Reese well as a person both on and off the field, he's been a good student, highly-regarded teammate and leader among his peers," Texas athletic director Mike Perrin said in a statement on Tuesday, per Trotter. "All indications are that he's a young man with a history of good character and behavior who made a poor decision."
