The restraining orders filed against five Minnesota Golden Gopher football players — sophomore cornerback KiAnte Hardin, redshirt freshman cornerback Ray Buford, redshirt freshman safety Dior Johnson, freshman defensive end Tamarion Johnson, and redshirt sophomore running back Carlton Djam — have been lifted after a settlement was reached earlier this afternoon between the players and the complainant. If upheld, the restraining orders would have prevented the players from participating in home football games at TCF Bank Stadium for the next two years.
A hearing was held earlier this morning, where the complainant was put on the stand and cross-examined by the players’ defense attorney.
