GREENSBORO, North Carolina -- A&T quarterback Lewis Kindle has been reinstated to the football team by athletics director Earl Hilton but will be required to sit out the season opener at Appalachian State at 6 p.m. Sept. 7. Kindle, who was charged with driving while impaired by campus police on July 5 after blood-alcohol tests measured him three times above the North Carolina limit, also will serve as a speaker for area middle school students about the importance of good decision-making, according to A&T.
The charges against Kindle, considered a first-time offender, have been resolved through a student judicial committee and will result in him performing community service. Kindle had a court date scheduled for Aug. 26.
Kindle's appearances before students are a separate requirement by the athletics department.
Kindle practiced Monday for the first time. Kindle would be eligible to play in A&T's home opener, at 6 p.m. Sept. 14 against Elon.
