Donnie Corley, who was kicked off the Michigan State football team following his freshman season after being charged with sexual assault, picked his next college.
The wide receiver and defensive back announced via Twitter Friday evening he is headed to Texas Southern. Corley spent the 2018 season at Coahoma Community College in Mississippi, will be eligible to play in the fall and has two years of eligibility remaining.
Texas Southern in an FCS program and member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The traditional signing day for college football is Wednesday.
A former four-star prospect from Detroit Martin Luther King Jr. High School, Corley signed with Michigan State’s 2016 recruiting class. He appeared in all 12 games as a true freshman (two starts) while playing both ways and had 33 receptions for 453 yards and three touchdowns to go with five tackles.
Corley, along with fellow freshmen Josh King and Demetric Vance, were dismissed from the team by coach Mark Dantonio in June 2017 after they were charged sexual assault stemming from an incident in January that year at an East Lansing apartment. All three were expelled from the university for violating its relationship violence and sexual misconduct policy after a Title IX investigation.
King faced up to life in prison for charges of first- and third-degree criminal sexual conduct. Corley and Vance each faced a charge of third-degree criminal sexual conduct – punishable by up 15 years in prison. However, all three accepted plea deals in Ingham County Circuit Court in April 2018 to a felony charge of seduction while King also pleaded guilty to a felony charge of surveilling an unclothed person.
All three were sentenced in June to 36 months of probation and required to complete sex offender treatment, individual and group therapy, cognitive therapy, 100 hours of community service and pay $1,300 in court costs and fines. They were also granted status under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act, which will keep their records non-public if they fulfill the terms of the agreement.
Corley, King and Vance all played at Coahoma Community College during the 2018 season. Corley had 40 receptions for 459 yards and six touchdowns.
LJ Scott missed the Senior Bowl but will get another chance to impress NFL scouts.
The former Michigan State running back announced via Twitter Friday afternoon he received an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine. The combine is Feb. 26 through March 4 in Indianapolis

Cornerback Justin Layne, who left for the draft after his junior season, and safety Khari Willis are among the former Michigan State players who are leading candidates to receive an invitation. Receiver Felton Davis, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon in October, said in December he will not be healed in time to be part of the combine.
