University of Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops announced on Monday that four freshmen suspended for the past week will be reinstated, Kyle Tucker of theLouisville Courier-Journalreported.

The four players — receiver Dorian Baker, tailback Stanley "Boom" Williams, quarterback Drew Barker and defensive end Tymere Dubose — were suspended for their involvement in a pellet-gun incident on Sept. 28 that caused a campus lockdown.

Though Barker and Dubose are still expected to redshirt this season, Stoops said all four will re-join team activities this week.

"They'll be back in the fold this week," Stoops said. "They'll be back in practice and they'll play this week."
