Florida State LB Chris Casher will be eligible to play against The Citadel on Saturday while LB Matthew Thomas has been suspended.
According to Warchant.com, Casher was notified Friday that he could play. A redshirt sophomore, Casher didn't play against Oklahoma State because of an academic issue. However, the matter has been resolved.
Casher is listed as a starter on FSU's depth chart. He and teammate Ronald Darby faced FSU code of conduct charges this spring for their role in the accused sexual assault against Jameis Winston. While Darby's attorney said he was cleared, Casher's attorney declined comment. Both players said that the sex between Winston and his accuser was consensual and they witnessed it.
Winston was not charged in the matter and according to a lawyer representing the accuser, she was interviewed in August by Florida State officials as part of the university's investigation into the matter.
Casher, a redshirt sophomore, had 25 tackles and two sacks in 2013.
Thomas missed the Oklahoma State game because of injury. Warchant said he's been suspended for a violation of team rules and will be eligible to return for the Notre Dame game. He missed nine games last season because of a shoulder injury.
