CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Clemson kicker Ammon Lakip has been reinstated by the coaches after serving a three-game suspension for an offseason drug arrest, but will not get back his starting job.

Coach Dabo Swinney said Monday that Lakip would be eligible when the 11th-ranked Tigers (3-0) face No. 6 Notre Dame (3-0) on Oct. 3. However, Swinney says walk-on kicker Greg Huegel will remain Clemson's starter.

Lakip was arrested in June for cocaine possession and driving under the influence.
