Kelly Bryant backdoors his exit from Clemson

The way Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney found out his senior quarterback was transferring was almost as surprising as what Kelly Bryant said earlier in the day on Wednesday.

Bryant through The Greenville News said he felt he did not get a fair shack in his competition with Trevor Lawrence to be the Tigers’ starting quarterback, and he felt like he got slapped in the face for all he had done.

However, Bryant informed Swinney via a text message he was leaving the team after he snuck out of the Allen Reeves Football Complex following Tuesday’s team meetings.
