Clemson QB Sees Transfer WR ‘Being a Big-Time Player’ for Tigers

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said earlier this spring that Tristan Smith is the “happiest guy on the team” after joining the Tigers this offseason.

Backup quarterback Christopher Vizzina echoed that sentiment about the talented wide receiver, who transferred to Clemson after a stellar 2024 season at Southeast Missouri State.

“Number one, he’s a great guy,” Vizzina said of Smith this week, ahead of Saturday’s Orange vs. White Spring Game at Memorial Stadium.

“He came in here – I think Coach Swinney said this – he’s like the happiest guy. Like, you can tell this is genuinely something he really wanted to do, and he’s happy to be here.
