Albert Huggins not fazed by big stage, says he'll play free

ARLINGTON, TX – While Albert Huggins is hurting for his brother and fellow defensive tackle, Dexter Lawrence, the senior is looking forward to an opportunity to shine.

Clemson Athletic Director Dan Radakovich announced Thursday evening that Lawrence – along with Braden Galloway and Zach Giella – will miss Saturday’s Cotton Bowl Classic at AT&T Stadium after testing positive (.02) for ostarine, a banned substance by the NCAA.

With Lawrence out, Huggins – the Orangeburg (SC) native and recent graduate – will most likely get the start and show why he came to Clemson four years ago – an opportunity he isn’t taking lightly.
