Clemson defensive tackle Vic Burley suspended after disorderly conduct arrest
Summary

Clemson senior defensive tackle Vic Burley has been suspended indefinitely following an early-morning arrest for disorderly conduct by the Clemson University Police Department. Head coach Dabo Swinney expressed disappointment in Burley's actions. Burley was expected to play a significant role this season after recently returning from an injury. His absence raises concerns for the team's defensive interior ahead of the September 5 opener against LSU. Clemson will likely rely on other players such as Amare Adams, Andy Burburija, and Markus Strong in Burley's stead with no return timetable provided.
