EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) – Michigan State offensive lineman Arthur Ray Jr. has been cleared to practice this spring by the NCAA, four years after being diagnosed with leg cancer.
The school says Ray was granted a waiver by the NCAA that enables him to participate. He had been medically disqualified so as not to count against the team’s scholarship limit.
Ray signed with the Spartans in 2007 but was diagnosed soon after and underwent successful chemotherapy and surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on top of his leg bone near the calf. A subsequent infection forced him to leave school before re-enrolling in 2008.
