DALLAS – The way Brent Venables sees it, Dexter Lawrence will not play in Saturday’s 83rd Cotton Bowl Classic.
Clemson’s defensive coordinator said Wednesday during a press conference at the Omni Hotel in Dallas to preview the College Football Playoff Semifinal Game against Notre Dame that he is planning for the All-American not be with the Tigers when they take the field at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Lawrence, along with freshman tight end Braden Galloway and reserve offensive tackle Zach Giella, failed a mandatory drug test by the NCAA. The three players tested positive for a steroid named Ostarine, a PED, which can be found in every day products.
