Florida's Callaway cleared for season opener

Antonio Callaway will be available for Florida's season opener against UMass on Saturday, head coach Jim McElwain announced Monday.

The Gators receiver was suspended in January for a violation of the school's code of conduct, but was cleared after a Title IX hearing earlier this month.

Callaway was accused of sexual assault, but his accuser refused to attend the hearing after it was revealed that a football booster would oversee the case. Callaway did not face criminal charges.

The Gators will now get their leading receiver back for 2016, and a nice target for Luke Del Rio to utilize. Callaway posted 678 yards and four touchdowns in 2015.
