Clemson not Using Transfer Portal Like Others

CLEMSON — Will Heldt started the spring game. Tristan Smith made the biggest play of the day and Jeremiah Alexander laid the lumber on Keith Adams, Jr.

Overall, it’s safe to say last week’s Orange & White Spring Game was a success for Clemson’s three transfer players.

“They all fit our needs, and they have all been exactly what we needed,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said.

The Tigers did need all three, as they seem to be the final pieces for a team that has the potential to make a title run. Swinney says whether the program uses the transfer portal or not, it will always be based on need and how the players fit in the program.
