CLEMSON – Dabo Swinney is so involved making sure that Clemson football players graduate, he has former players that played for the likes of Danny Ford and Tommy Bowden returning to school to get their degree.
Nine Clemson players earned their degrees last week, continuing a run of success for Swinney since he arrived at Clemson. Under Swinney’s tutelage, 129 of 135 seniors that were on the roster and played have earned their degrees, not including the nine that graduated last week.
To Swinney, earning the degree matters, and he was on board when the school instituted Tigers for Life, a program that allows former players to come back and finish their degree.
