Dabo Swinney saw the need to add a defensive end to his roster over the offseason.
While in the past, Swinney has often been criticized for his perceived reluctance to dip into the portal, the veteran head coach wasted no time after the 2024 season ended in looking to the portal to upgrade his roster.
Swinney added three key pieces, with one of those being former Purdue defensive end Will Heldt. The rising junior should provide a major boost to a defensive line that saw its share of struggles at one of the end spots a season ago.
