Don Jackson, an Alabama-based attorney representing LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton in his battle against the NCAA, says he's "optimistic" a resolution could be in sight.
Jackson told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on Tuesday afternoon that a "request for reconsideration based on new evidence" was officially filed with the NCAA a few weeks ago and an answer could come in 2-3 weeks, possibly sooner.
In January 2017, Fulton was hit was a two-year suspension from the NCAA for violating rule 3.4 in the NCAA Drug-Testing protocol. In February 2017, LSU's official appeal by the NCAA was denied.
If the reconsideration goes in Fulton's favor, the NCAA could reduce his suspension and make him eligible for the 2018 season.
