Tigers Suspend Kicker Lakip After Arrest

Wednesday, Clemson suspended placekicker Ammon Lakip from the team. The indefinite suspension is the result of an arrest earlier this month. Clemson University police arrested Lakip June 6th and charged him with driving under the influence and possession of cocaine. “We are aware of Ammon‘s arrest, and he was suspended from all team activities and sent home immediately,” said Swinney. “He has been suspended indefinitely. His status for the 2015 season will be evaluated later in the summer.” Lakip was 21-28 on field goals last season. He led the Clemson team in scoring with 106 points. He served as the backup kicker in 2012 and 2013. Last year’s Tiger punter Bradley Pinion decided to forego his senior season in 2015 and turned pro. In May, Clemson defensive end Ebenezer Ogundeko was kicked off the team after being arrested for his role in a credit card scam.
