Clemson’s junior defensive tackle likely won’t play in Saturday’s Cotton Bowl against Notre Dame after testing positive for ostarine, a substance banned by the NCAA. The team is awaiting the results of a B sample that might clear Lawrence and offensive lineman Zach Giella and tight end Braden Galloway.
Whatever happens, Lawrence is doing what he can do to help his teammates.
“I know that I have no control on what the B sample result will be. I’m just here to support my teammates and try to be the leader that I’ve been all year,” Lawrence said during Media Day at AT&T Stadium Thursday.
