When Scott Pagano announced his transfer from the Clemson Tigers, he got requests from pretty much every program out there. 37, to be precise. That included most of the major programs out there, including LSU, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Nebraska. The list goes on.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney did indicate that Pagano might have a preference for moving close to the West Coast though. Pagano is originally from Hawaii and might have wanted to spend his final year closer to the Pacific. USC, Washington, Arizona State all made inquiries. As did Cal.
