The Miami Hurricanes football program is reinstating Avantae Williams, according to the player’s lawyer, one month after he was dismissed from the program after being arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated battery on a pregnant woman.
Those felony charges, which Williams pleaded not guilty to before being released with a restraining order against him and under house arrest, were dropped last Friday with the state attorney’s office closing the case, according to records from Miami-Dade County’s Clerk of the Courts.
“I was informed that Miami will reinstate Avantae,” Michael Etienne, Williams’ lawyer, said in a statement to the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Thursday.
