Tony O’Banner isn’t a stranger to Clemson's environment, and the Clemson program knows he’s no stranger to the end zone.

The junior back has been a frequent visitor to Dabo Swinney’s summer camp, having gone to the three-day session before his freshman year. His visit to Virginia wasn’t his first time within the atmosphere of a gameday environment, as he traveled to Clemson for the Tigers’ home opener in 2023.

O'Banner has built himself a reputation in the Lowcountry as someone who simply finds the goalline. Having been dubbed “Touchdown” O’Banner, it is a fitting name for the tailback who scored 37 touchdowns as a sophomore.
