Clemson Football Defensive Tackle Vic Burley Suspended Indefinitely After Arrest
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said the senior defensive tackle was charged with disorderly conduct and removed from the team indefinitely.
- Clemson defensive lineman Vic Burley was arrested Saturday morning for disorderly conduct, prompting Clemson Football Head Coach Dabo Swinney to suspend the senior indefinitely.
- Burley, a 315-pound senior and former five-star recruit, was expected to anchor the defensive line this season after appearing in 21 career games with 24 tackles.
- Swinney stated in a statement, "We are extremely disappointed by his actions and decisions." The suspension strikes just two weeks before Clemson opens against LSU on Sept. 5.
- Clemson must now rely on transfer additions Markus Strong, Andy Burburija, and DeVarrick Woods to fill the gap, with Kourtney Kelly also available despite a spring ACL injury.
- Burley's performance during last Friday's scrimmage at Memorial Stadium had impressed Swinney, who noted, "I actually noticed Vic today at least three times." The absence marks a late adjustment for the staff.
