Clemson is still hopeful the NCAA will overturn its suspension of two Clemson football players when it receives the school’s appeal. Clemson’s deadline to turn in its findings is due at the end of the month.
Tight end Braden Galloway and offensive lineman Zach Giella tested positive for a performance enhancing drug called ostarine, after small traces of the banned substance were found in their system. They, along with former defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, were suspended for the Cotton Bowl last December and for the national championship game in January.
If Clemson’s appeal cannot overturn the NCAA’s ruling, both players will be suspended for the entire 2019 regular season.
