Ian Schieffelin released a statement Tuesday saying his DUI charge was dismissed and he accepted a reckless driving ticket, and he will miss Clemson University’s home opener against LSU this Saturday.

Officials say as part of the resolution, Schieffelin will pay $600 to the Community Foundation of Greater Clemson, complete 12 one-hour presentations, and face a $440 fine with six points on his driver's license.
Coach Dabo Swinney said the incident is a learning experience and Schieffelin must face consequences, adding he will be available for Clemson football team's Week 2 game vs. Troy.
After four seasons on the basketball team, Ian Schieffelin joined the football program May 2, relearning tight end fundamentals at 6-foot-7, 265 pounds after not playing since ninth grade.
