Clemson has big shoes to fill at quarterback as it tries to replace Deshaun Watson, but Dabo Swinney is in no rush to name the heir apparent to the two-time Heisman finalist.
Junior Kelly Bryant enters the spring as Clemson’s starting quarterback. However, who takes the first snap in the Tigers’ opener against Kent State will likely not be determined anytime soon.
Bryant will compete with Zerrick Cooper, Tucker Israel and Hunter Johnson for the starting job this spring before freshman Chase Brice joins the competition in the summer.
Each signal-caller is expected to get a shot to show what he can do before Swinney names a starter for 2017.
