Suspended Clemson tight end set to make season debut against Ohio State
Published:
One year ago at this time, Clemson was preparing for the 2018 College Football Playoff.
The Tigers went on to win the national title a year ago, but it was without three players. Why? Because they were suspended for a full calendar year after testing positive for ostarine — a supplement banned by the NCAA that can help with muscle growth — prior to last year’s CFP starting.
One of those three Tigers suspended moved onto thee NFL. Another transferred. But, one stayed.
The one who stayed was tight end Braden Galloway. And now, Galloway is preparing for his 2019 season debut against Ohio State. Talk about making your first appearance on a big stage.
“It was just about having the right mindset, knowing I can’t be there Saturdays. There were was some tough days,” Galloway said earlier this week. “You just try to find something you can get better at every day.”
