Notre Dame wide receiver Michal Floyd has pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving under the influence in a South Bend court Monday morning.
The Associated Press reports Floyd did not appear in court Monday morning for a scheduled court date but a plea on his behalf was read. Next up for Floyd is a June 7 hearing on the result of the plea.
Notre Dame has suspended Floyd indefinitely in March but the university has allowed him to remain on campus and enrolled in school. The suspension has put Floyd's future in question.
In January of 2010 Floyd was cited for underage drinking in his hometown of Minneapolis. He was cited for underage drinking after allegedly fleeing the scene of a fight in a car driven by a former Minnesota player, running back Shady Salamon. Salamon was charged with a DUI, obstructing police and underage drinking. According to a police report Floyd was discovered with blood on his shirt and hands and was linked to the fight at a party.
In 2010 Floyd recorded 1,025 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. His 79 receptions led the Fighting Irish as Notre Dame ended their season with a victory over Miami in the Sun Bowl. Floyd helped Notre Dame win against the Hurricanes with six catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns. It was his fourth time of the season going over 100 yards and his fourth multi-touchdown outing. For his efforts Floyd was named the Sun Bowl Most Valuable Player.
