Clemson's Dexter Lawrence on Positive Drug Test: I'm Not That 'Type of Guy'

Clemson star Dexter Lawrence is hoping to clear his name after a failed drug test left his status for Saturday's College Football Playoff semifinal against Notre Dame up in the air.

Per ESPN.com's Jake Trotter and Dan Murphy, the defensive tackle said he doesn't know how a banned substance showed up in his drug test:

"I'm not the type of guy to do a selfish act like that. I have too much pride. I love this team and my family too much to put a substance like that in my body. I don't know where it came from.
