Notebook: Swinney has a starting quarterback

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said the Tigers have a starting quarterback, and he is the same guy that took the Tigers to the College Football Playoffs in 2017.

It’s Kelly Bryant.

“We got a starter right now,” Swinney said Monday when asked if he will name a starter after spring practice. “Kelly’s our starter, so there’s no announcement unless that changes … Kelly’s the returning starter. He started 14 games, so that’s where we are.

“So if something changes, there’s an announcement to make. If not there’s no announcement.”

Swinney and co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said they were pleased with Bryant and all the quarterbacks when they went back and looked at the tape from the scrimmage on March 14.
