IU redshirt junior tight end Peyton Hendershot pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor criminal trespass following his arrest in February. His remaining charges of domestic battery, criminal conversion and criminal mischief were dismissed.

Hendershot was arrested Feb. 22 after he allegedly assaulted a 22-year-old woman he was previously in a relationship with, according to a press release from the Bloomington Police Department.

Under the conditions of Hendershot’s plea agreement, he is required to complete a mental health evaluation and a one-year probation. 

Following his arrest, Hendershot was placed on a 24-hour hold at the Monroe County Correctional Center. 

IU football head coach Tom Allen suspended Hendershot indefinitely Feb. 24 from all team activities.

On an April 22 Zoom call, Allen said that Hendershot had been brought back in a "modified" way.
