Case McCoy, Jordan Hicks reinstated

AUSTIN (KXAN) - University of Texas football players Jordan Hicks and Case McCoy have been reinstated to the team.

The players had been suspended for violating unspecified team rules after an investigation was launched by San Antonio police for allegations of sexual assault involving two Texas players which were never specifically named.

Mack Brown issued a statement Sunday evening saying, "Jordan Hicks and Case McCoy have rejoined the team. Obviously when you break team rules there's a certain amount of trust that has been broken, and that will be addressed with further discipline. That discipline will be handled within the team."

This is the first team meeting for the Longhorns since their 31-27 Valero Alamo Bowl victory over Oregon State in December.

The teammates were reinstated a day before scheduled classes resume on Monday.

Texas has four newcomers joining the team as January enrollees. Junior college transfer TE Geoff Swaim (Chico, Calif. [Pleasant Valley HS/Butte (Calif.) Community College)] is joined by true freshmen LB Deoundrei Davis (Cypress, Texas [Cypress Woods HS]), OL/DE Jake Raulerson (Celina, Texas [Celina HS]) and QB Tyrone Swoopes (Whitewright, Texas [Whitewright HS]). The four have enrolled in school, will begin classes this semester and be a part of spring practices. Their joining of the program will be addressed in detail along with the rest of the signing class on National Signing Day, which will be Wednesday, Feb. 6.
