Clemson defensive tackle Vic Burley returns to team following suspension

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney announced the reinstatement of defensive tackle Vic Burley following a suspension stemming from an August arrest. Burley was initially suspended indefinitely after being charged with public disorderly conduct on August 22. According to court records, he pleaded guilty and received a conditional discharge, requiring community service and completion of an intervention program. Swinney confirmed that Burley will not play in the upcoming game against Georgia Southern on September 12 but will be available for the ACC opener against North Carolina on September 19. The team also faces a significant roster loss, as defensive tackle Markus Strong is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a lower-leg injury sustained during the September 5 game against LSU. Clemson seeks to bolster its defensive line after allowing 51 points in its season opener.
