Family First: Dabo Swinney runs his program with a father's heart

During last week’s Fort Hill Recruiting Wrap, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney thrilled the crowd with insider stories of the recruiting process for the Tigers’ 2018 recruiting class, poked a little fun at each player and made everyone present feel like family. That’s what he does.

At the end of his time on the podium, Swinney told the crowd that he was leaving. His middle son, Drew, signed his Letter of Intent to play at Clemson earlier in the day at Daniel High School, and Swinney played the part of the dutiful parent. He snapped photos with his phone, he hugged his wife Kathleen and thoroughly enjoyed playing the part of doting father.
