Isaiah Battle Leaves Clemson Football Team

What was already a thin and weak OL suffered another blow today when Clemson announced that Isaiah Battle will not return to school and instead will enter the NFL Supplemental Draft this summer. The announcement is rather odd, and it follows some rumors that Battle may have had trouble with grades or other off field incidents. Battle, as many will remember, took a swing at an NC State player in 2013 and was immediately ejected. Dabo then suspended Battle for the game against Wake Forest. Isaiah does have a young child and the decision to enter the supplemental draft may have also been motivated by trying to provide for her rather than any school or disciplinary issues.
