Georgia received good news from the NCAA on Friday.
The program announced that starting right tackle Kolton Houston has been granted a sixth year of eligibility and will be able to play one last season in 2015.
Houston originally enrolled at Georgia in 2010, but was declared ineligible for testing positive for an anabolic steroid called norandalone. As a high school junior, Houston was given the steroid injection by a doctor following shoulder surgery. Due to poor aim from the doctor, the substance remained in fat deposits in his system at levels that exceeded NCAA limits, leading to suspensions from the NCAA.
He was eventually reinstated in July 2013 and has seen significant playing time for the Bulldogs over the last two seasons. In 2013, Houston played in 13 games and made six starts. This season, Houston started all 12 games at right tackle.
The 9-3 Bulldogs will face Louisville in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte on Dec. 30.
