SALT LAKE CITY -- Receiver Darren Carrington has officially been cleared to play for Utah after transferring from Oregon shortly before fall camp began.
The Pac-12 faculty athletic representatives' committee waived the intraconference transfer penalty that can force players to sit out a year. The senior has been practicing with the team throughout camp.
Carrington was dismissed from the Ducks soon after he was arrested in July on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound San Diego native joins the Utes as the most experienced and successful receiver on the roster. Carrington had 43 catches for 606 yards and five touchdowns last season as a junior with the Ducks.
