LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton remains suspended by the NCAA, and will miss the 2018 season, after his appeal was denied by college football’s ruling organization today.
Fulton was suspended for two seasons for attempting to falsify a drug test during the 2016 season. The NCAA had agreed to hear Fulton’s appeal this summer, but apparently must have decided they just wanted to waste his and his family’s time and money.
Fulton, a former five-star prospect that LSU had hoped would be able to start at cornerback, was working with attorney Don Jackson. Ross Dellenger has more on the issue in Sports Illustrated:
Jackson, the Alabama-based attorney representing the Fulton family who’s spent a year working the case, got the NCAA to reopen the case after an LSU-led appeal last spring failed.
