Running back Delton Williams is not currently enrolled at Michigan State, but that could change soon.

According to a report from MLive.com, Williams, the team’s leading returning rusher, is expected to return to the team “as early as this month.” Williams, a rising junior, could potentially participate in the team’s voluntary summer workouts, the report said.

Williams has been indefinitely suspended from the program since a March traffic incident in which Williams allegedly pulled out a gun after a man honked at him. The man said Williams, who had a concealed carry permit, did not point the weapon.

Williams was charged with brandishing a firearm and pled guilty to a reduced weapons charge in late April.

Williams’ accuser wrote a letter to police in April asking for the charge to be dropped after he looked into Williams’ background. Williams’ brother was shot and killed outside a tavern in Erie, Pa., Williams’ hometown.

The accuser, Anan Abubaker, said he could understand “why he would have a weapon.”

“I wouldn’t want him to be thrown out of school over a silly mistake he made in a moment of fear,” Abubaker wrote. “I believe he will learn his lesson and move on to better things.”

As part of Williams’ plea deal, the case could potentially be dismissed on Dec. 18 (his sentencing date) if he commits no other violations.

Despite this, Williams could still face a multi-game suspension from the team as he goes through the student judicial process.

From MLive.com:

Williams could face a multi-game suspension -- that may or may not ultimately result in him redshirting -- and he will not immediately be reinstated to scholarship status.

Coach Mark Dantonio, who has led Michigan State to bowl trips each of his eight years as the Spartans' head coach, has not publicly updated Williams' status since the suspension.

Williams has yet to be added to the team's roster, and an athletic department spokesperson would not confirm any information.

Williams was third on the Spartans with 326 yards on 54 carries in 2014. He also added five touchdowns. He was expected to compete for the team’s starting role heading into 2015.
