Back in March of 2021, 6 Kentucky football players were allegedly involved in an incident at an off-campus frat party.
Those players — Reuben (RJ) Adams, Robert (JuTahn) McClain, Andru Phillips, Earnest Sanders IV, Devito (Vito) Tisdale and Joel Williams — were held out of practice as they faced charges stemming from the incident.
However, on Monday, it was reported that the players were back at practice. And, on Tuesday, charges against all 6 players were dismissed by a grand jury:

The Kentucky.com report provides details of the alleged incident:
The charges were placed on the players about five months after an altercation at a frat party near UK’s campus. Student conduct records obtained by the Herald-Leader showed alcohol and racial slurs “played a significant role” in the escalation of the altercation.
Now, though, it seems the players are in the clear. We’ll see how soon they start to contribute to this year’s squad.
