The NCAA has agreed to re-open the case regarding the suspension of LSU cornerback Kristian Fulton, his lawyer told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on Friday (July 27).
Don Jackson, the Alabama-based lawyer for the Fulton family, said the NCAA will hear the case based on "new evidence" that has been presented. The hearing will be set in the coming days.
Jackson told NOLA.com last week he was "optimistic" that a reduction of the two-year suspension levied against Fulton was near.
Fulton was suspended two years by the NCAA starting in January 2017 for tampering with a drug sample.
