Clemson football: Tigers tight end thanks NCAA for eligibility
Clemson football tight end Braden Galloway was able to get his lost year of eligibility back.
As we know, at the end of the 2018 football season and just before the start of the College Football Playoff’s, several Clemson football players tested positive for trace amounts of Ostarine and were ruled ineligible. All three of those athletes not only had their playoffs stolen from them, but they also lost out in 2019.
Former defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence simply moved on to the NFL, but former offensive lineman Zach Giella had his last season of eligibly stolen from him and tight end Braden Galloway lost his sophomore season after the NCAA declined to listen to USDA experts and scientists that testified that the trace amounts found in Clemson players were clearly accidental.
I think it is important to point out what Ostarine does – not because it matters anymore, but because no one ever has. Ostarine allows the body to hang onto muscle during weight loss – something that major college football players, especially linemen have no use for.
On Friday afternoon, the Division I Board of Governors voted to approve a resolution that was passed earlier in the week by the Division I Council. That resolution gives every fall collegiate athlete a free year of eligibility in 2020 regardless of how much or how little they play.
Braden Galloway made sure to thank the NCAA for their passing of this resolution and for giving him his year of eligibility back.

While most of us laughed or snickered at his tweet, he is right and things are going to work out for a young man that broke no rules and had a board of men and women ignore experts and science to strip him of a year, to begin with.
Next. Special teams have not been special under Coach Swinney. dark
No one knows if Galloway, or any Clemson football player, will use their extra year of eligibility but if he has the year that many are expecting out of him in 2020, chances are his senior year in 2021 will be his last season in a Tigers uniform as NFL riches will await his arrival.
