A statement from UW-Madison Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez has confirmed that Quintez Cephus will officially rejoin the Badger football team.

The statement quickly followed a news conference Monday afternoon where Cephus expressed his interest in playing for the team once again.

Alvarez said the university is handling eligibility issues before he can play in any games.

The statement said UW Athletics takes sexual misconduct allegations seriously and noted the impact that sexual assault has on college campuses.

“We have a robust educational program around sexual misconduct in place for our student-athletes and we will continue those efforts going forward,” Alvarez said.
