Former Notre Dame football player Max Redfield was in court Wednesday to enter a plea agreement. A failed drug test in December caused the court to throw out Redfield's original plea agreement.

The former Irish safety was arrested in Fulton County along with four teammates in August on drug and gun charges. He was kicked off the team and is no longer allowed on campus after police say he had marijuana and a gun without a license.

His original plea agreement would've allowed him to avoid any jail time.

Under the agreement submitted Wednesday, Redfield will plead guilty to possession of a handgun and possession of marijuana. Redfield's attorney says the plea is asking for no jail time and an increase on probation.

The judge will decide whether or not to accept the agreement, but Redfield's defense team says he is making a lot of progress.

In a statement given to NewsCenter 16, Attorney Randy Fisher said the following:

"Max Redfield pled guilty today, accepting full responsibility for the misdemeanor charges filed against the former University of Notre Dame football standout. The Fulton County Superior Court took the plea agreement under advisement and set a sentencing hearing for March 21, 2017. Under the terms of the proposed plea agreement, Mr. Redfield will not serve any jail time and will be required to complete one year of probation.

Following his last court appearance, Mr. Redfield voluntarily enrolled in an intensive outpatient substance abuse program in his home state of California. The program includes-among other things-drug and alcohol educational classes, group therapy, and one-on-one counseling sessions. Since his enrollment, Mr. Redfield has attended program sessions three times per week, has remained in full compliance, and has tested negative for all random weekly drug and alcohol tests.

Mr. Redfield is currently taking college courses this semester in California, in an effort to receive his degree form the University of Notre Dame. Additionally, Mr. Redfield has continued an intense physical training regimen and is focused on playing his final year of college football this upcoming season."

He is due back in court for sentencing on March 21.
