After considering transfer, Overton ‘kept the faith’

After three seasons of sporadic playing time, sitting behind some talented wide receivers on Clemson’s depth chart, Diondre Overton admits there came a point this spring when he contemplated transferring and going somewhere else for his final season.

“There was a point in time, I was getting a little frustrated kind of sitting on the back end,” Overton said Monday following Clemson’s first practice of fall camp. “But I talked to my parents, kind of kept the faith and realized this is where I wanted to be. Competition’s going to be everywhere that I go, so I was just ready to take the next step, step up and just showcase my talent.
