If you pay attention to Tony Elliott closely during football practice, you will notice he is usually the only coach on Dabo Swinney’s staff wearing an orange or purple Clemson baseball cap.
Why?
Because Elliott loves baseball and in particular Clemson Baseball. When the Tigers opened the 2021 season on Feb. 18, Clemson’s offensive coordinator was in attendance, sitting with his seven-year-old son, A.J., and teaching him all he can about the game.
“Growing up in California that was my first love. The first ball I picked up was a baseball,” Elliott said.
