Wisconsin's Randle El may play in bowl after being arrested

December 20, 2005

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin wide receiver Marcus Randle El has been cleared to return to the team and could play in the Capital One Bowl after he was arrested on a battery charge last weekend.

A school committee decided Tuesday to let Randle El, the brother of Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antwaan Randle El, start practicing with the team again on Dec. 26.


The Badgers play Auburn in Orlando, Fla., on Jan. 2.

Marcus Randle El was arrested after punching an acquaintance late Friday night over an alleged theft of money, police said. The punch sent the 19-year-old man to the hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

Randle El, who has played in five games, was immediately suspended under a school rule governing any player arrested for violence. A campus appeals committee ruled he could return to the team.

Randle El pleaded guilty in June to disorderly conduct for shoving his girlfriend. He could face up to six months in jail if a judge rules he violated the rules of a first offenders program governing that conviction.

Randle El was briefly suspended after the March incident, but the school cleared him to play in the second half of the Badgers' spring practices.

The sophomore has one reception for 29 yards and a touchdown this season.

He shoved his girlfriend and punched someone who stole from him...Electric Chair.

I'm not sure how the team can hold up without him in uniform. Based on those stats I expect him to be on the field even if he shoved the coach's wife and then punched the coach for bitching about it.
