Last August, four members of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team were arrested after a traffic stop uncovered a handgun and a “significant amount” of marijuana.
One of those four was then freshman, Kevin Stepherson.
On Thursday, Stepherson accepted a plea deal that will give him one year probation for marijuana possession. Part of the plea includes a drug and alcohol program through the court, and will be subject to drug and alcohol testing.
If Stepherson completes the year with no violations, the current charges will be dropped.
Stepherson had a somewhat surprising freshman year in 2016.
