Being forced to sit out most of his sophomore season in 2019 while serving a one-year NCAA suspension was, of course, highly disappointing for Clemson tight end Braden Galloway.
Galloway was suspended due to a failed drug test administered by the NCAA prior to the 2019 Cotton Bowl. He, along with former defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence and former offensive lineman Zach Giella, had traces of a performance-enhancing drug called Ostarine in their systems.
“That was definitely one of the lowest points of my life as far as not being able to play football,” Galloway said, reflecting on the suspension following the Tigers’ practice Tuesday.
