Clemson's suspended receiver Deon Cain has enrolled in classes, apparently choosing to remain with the program after getting sent home from the Orange Bowl for violating team rules.
Cain, a freshman, was among three players along with kicker Ammon Lakip and backup tight end Jay Jay McCullough were suspended from the post-season. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and other school officials would only say the three broke rules of the program, citing privacy rules.
Football spokesman Tim Bourret confirmed in a text Sunday that Cain began classes this week for the spring semester. Swinney said Cain would have a chance to rejoin the team next year.
Cain had 34 catches and five touchdowns as he became Clemson's primary downfield threat late in the season.
