JACKSON, Tenn. (AP) A former Vanderbilt football player accused of raping an unconscious student has been admitted to Lane College, and the coach there says he will play football.

Lane President Logan Hampton told The Jackson Sun (http://bit.ly/1ETJfZv) Monday night that 21-year-old Brandon Banks had been admitted, and head football coach Derrick Burroughs confirmed Banks is on campus and will sign with the team.

Mark Scruggs, Banks' attorney, didn't immediately return a call to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Banks was indicted in the case along with three other former Vanderbilt football players.
