Floyd wasn’t present Monday when South Bend Magistrate Brian Steinke entered the plea on his behalf. He also set a June 7 status hearing. Defense attorney William Stanley says he hopes to have a plea agreement in place for Floyd by then.

Authorities say Floyd was arrested March 20 after running a stop sign a block from the school’s main entrance. Prosecutors say a breathalyzer test showed Floyd had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent – more than double Indiana’s legal limit for driving.

Coach Brian Kelly suspended Floyd after his arrest. A Notre Dame disciplinary panel has allowed him to stay in school.

Floyd led the Irish in receiving last season.
