CLEMSON – A couple of special guests were at Clemson Monday as the Tigers began day three of August camp. Former New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers star Darryl Strawberry and NBA legend Charles Barkley were guests of head coach Dabo Swinney.
Barkley spoke with the team Monday before leaving, and Strawberry is spending two days on campus and will speak with the team Tuesday.
TigerNet has an exclusive interview with Strawberry coming up, but I can say that he met Swinney at Tony Dungy’s event in Minneapolis in the spring. Strawberry told me that he has long been a fan of college football and the Tigers, so when Swinney texted him and asked to come to town for a few days, he readily accepted.
