The Tennessee football team announced Friday afternoon on its official Twitter account that senior wide receiver Von Pearson has been reinstated following a nearly four-month suspension.

Pearson, who was the Vols' second-leading receiver last season, was suspended from the team in April —Â and subsequently from the university — after he was named a suspect in a sexual-assault investigation. But the Knox County District Attorney General's office announced Wednesday that Pearson would not face charges in connection to the alleged rape.

"After a thorough review of the investigation, I have determined that there is insufficient evidence to sustain a criminal prosecution against Von Pearson," Knox County District Attorney General Charme Allen said in a statement released Wednesday.

Pearson, a former four-star prospect from Feather River College in Quincy, Calif., who's originally from Newport News, Va., caught 38 passes for 393 yards and a team-leading five touchdowns in 2014.
