Greg Kelley, who had a 2014 conviction for sexually assaulting a child overturned in November, announced Saturday that he has received a scholarship to play college football at Eastern Michigan University.
Kelley wrote in an Instagram post: "I am excited to announce that I have been offered a D1 full ride scholarship to play football for [Eastern Michigan]!! I want to thank everyone at Eastern Michiganfor giving me this opportunity to play the game I love again. I missed it so much and I can't wait to pad up this week!"
According to ESPN's Dave Wilson, Kelley was arrested while he was a senior high school football player in Leander, Texas, in 2013 and later convicted of sexual abuse of a child after a 4-year-old who attended an in-home day care at Kelley's residence alleged that he abused them.
