The top-ranked Clemson Tigers sent three players home from the Orange Bowl, after the trio reportedly failed drug tests, according to media reports. Wide receiver Deon Cain, tight end Jay Jay McCullough, and kicker Ammon Lakip are the three players who were reportedly suspended. The freshman Cain had 34 catches for 582 yards, five touchdowns, and is the second leading receiver for the team in terms of yardage. Lakip was expected to be the Tigers’ starting kicker until he was suspended at the start of the season for a DUI and drug possession arrest in June. The team is scheduled to hold a press conference Wednesday morning and face No. 4 Oklahoma at 4 p.m Thursday.
