SALT LAKE CITY — Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham announced at his Monday press conference that Dominique Hatfield has been reinstated with the program.
"He'll play as soon as he's ready," Whittingham said. "As things are turning out, it was our belief, in fairness, he was deserving to be able to be reinstated back onto the football team."
Whittingham said he made the decision with consultation with athletic director Chris Hill and that he felt Hatfield had served "enough of a punishment." Whittingham added that Hatfield would be able to play "whenever he is ready" but that there was no specific timeline.
