Bryce Dixon will be reinstated to USC, but not to the football team, the university announced Thursday night.
Dixon, a tight end who played in 12 games and caught four touchdown passes last season as a freshman, was expelled in May after a USC investigation of alleged sexual misconduct.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge had issued a written order that put Dixon's expulsion on hold, giving Dixon hope that he might rejoin the team.
“We will comply with the court's order and allow Mr. Dixon to re-enroll in the university immediately,” USC said in a statement. “The judge's order does not impact or reverse the findings made by the university in this student conduct case.”
USC said it “stands by its student disciplinary processes,” and that they were conducted in compliance with state and federal law, including Title IX and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act.
