After being dismissed from UM, freshman safety Avantae Williams will put on a Miami Hurricanes jersey this fall.
Williams, who had been arrested for three counts of aggravated battery on July 22, was reinstated to Miami’s football program Thursday, according to his attorney, Michael Etienne. Legal charges that involved three counts of aggravated battery were dropped Saturday.
“I was informed that Miami will reinstate Avantae,” Etienne said in a statement. “Compliments to Coach Manny Diaz, Assistant Recruiting Director Edwin Pata, the Athletic Director [Blake James], and the entire UM administration. Now that this chapter is finally over, let’s wish Avantae and his UM teammates well as they forge ahead.
