http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3378148 <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux, who had legal and disciplinary problems throughout his college career, was kicked off the defending national championship team Friday. LSU coach Les Miles did not offer details, but sources within the program told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach and ESPN's Joe Schad that Perrilloux failed a drug test. Perrilloux, who had been suspended three times in his college career, "didn't fulfill his obligation as an LSU student-athlete," Miles said in a statement. The school said Friday that Perrilloux is expected to finish out the spring semester. "Ryan was given every opportunity to be a part of this football team," Miles said. Perrilloux was a backup to Matt Flynn for the Tigers, who defeated Ohio State to win the national title. LSU coach Les Miles did not disclose details in his decision to kick Ryan Perrilloux, seen here with Miles in 2006, off the team. Miles suspended Perrilloux, whose father died Feb. 7, in mid-February after he missed a team meeting, skipped some classes and was late for a handful of conditioning workouts. Perrilloux had to meet academic requirements and do extra conditioning work before he was reinstated April 6, in time to go with the Tigers to meet President Bush at the White House. Perrilloux was not allowed to play in LSU's spring game. Before his last reinstatement, Miles said Perrilloux had been doing better with his classwork. During the spring, redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee and junior Andrew Hatch split time as the quarterback of the Tigers. In 12 games last season, Perrilloux completed 51 of 75 passes for eight touchdowns and two interceptions. He led LSU to two victories -- including the Southeastern Conference championship game -- when Flynn, a senior, was injured during the 2007 season. Perrilloux, who also was suspended by the Tigers last summer, was on the fringe of a counterfeiting investigation and was caught trying to enter a Baton Rouge casino with false identification. He also was involved in a fracas at a nightclub in November, but was cleared of wrongdoing.</div> Would he be eligible to put his name in the Supplemental Draft?

If Maurice Clarrett can spend a whole year between college and pros, cause all the fuss he did, then anything is still possible for Ryan. He played on the best college team in the country, which means he must have learned a little about football. I say a team will try him out, and he might get a spot on their depth chart or practice team.
