Six Clemson freshmen football players have been declared academically ineligible for the upcoming season, Coach Danny Ford said.
The six are quarterback Vince Robinson, running backs Reggie Demps and Joe Henderson, linebackers Andrew Walker and Marvin Green and defensive end Rod Mitchell.
The six players failed to meet the tougher academic requirements outlined in Proposition 48, which was passed in January by the NCAA and went into effect with the 1986 recruiting class. Before the ineligibilities, Clemson had 21 incoming freshmen on scholarships.
