GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A former University of North Dakota football player accused of assaulting four men on campus has pleaded guilty.

Twenty-year-old Brad Kelley could face more than 10 years in prison when he is sentenced Jan. 13 on two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of simple assault and one count of underage drinking.

Kelley, of Coon Rapids, Minn., is accused of hitting a dormitory resident assistant and a staff member after an altercation with two students last January. The freshman linebacker was suspended indefinitely from the football team and from the dorm where he lived.

Grand Forks County prosecutor Faye Jasmer says Kelley was drinking and does not remember the altercations. Kelley's attorney, Jay Knudson, says Kelley regrets "a lot of what happened."
