Former Georgia defensive back Chad Clay will resume his college career with the Marshall football program.
Over the weekend, Clay took to social media to announce the move.
“First and foremost, I want to thank God, my family and everyone who’s been there for me through this journey,” Clay wrote in a brief statement. “Words can’t explain how grateful and thankful I am for this opportunity to pursue my dreams and continue to get my education.
“Lastly, I want to thank Coach Holiday and the rest of the coaches at Marshall for this great opportunity!”

Clay, a former three-star recruit for Georgia, was dismissed from the program after enrolling in 2016 following two arrests in a span of two months.
Clay then transferred to Butler Community College in Kansas.
Now, the defensive back will be eligible to play for the Thundering Herd beginning in 2017 with three years of eligibility remaining.
