Teammate: Frank Shannon back with Sooners after suspension

Linebacker Frank Shannon is back with Oklahoma after a nearly year-long suspension, according to a tweet from teammate Zack Sanchez.

Shannon was suspended by the school last summer for violating the school’s Title IX sexual misconduct policy.

A female student alleged Shannon sexually assaulted her at his off-campus apartment in late January 2014.

Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn declined to prosecute Shannon in criminal court shortly after the incident, but universities are required by federal law to conduct independent investigations of all sexual misconduct allegations.
