A longtime Clemson coach is set to retire.
The Clemson Insider can confirm that Clemson strength and conditioning coach Joey Batson is set to retire following the 2025 season.
We were told that Batson informed the team last week of his intention for this to be his final season.
Batson is entering his 29th year as the Director of Strength Training at Clemson and his 40th year as a strength and conditioning coach at the college level. He has served as a head strength and conditioning coach for 36 of his 40 years.
Batson was named Master Strength and Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association in May of 2009 — the highest honor given in the strength and conditioning coaching profession.
