Three Clemson players have failed drug tests ahead of the team's College Football Playoff game against Notre Dame, putting their availability for the Cotton Bowl in doubt.
Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence, offensive lineman Zach Giella and tight end Braden Galloway were found to have traces of ostarine in their sample, coach Dabo Swinney announced Monday.
The school was notified of the positive tests last week.
"The letter that came from the NCAA said these three men had a sliver, a trace of some substance called ostarine," Swinney said at the first media availability ahead of Saturday's game.
