CLEMSON – New offensive line coach Matt Luke’s energy is contagious, and that is beginning to pay dividends for his players.
Luke stepped away from coaching for two years in 2021 – he was the offensive line coach for Georgia’s National Championship team – and said only the right opportunity would lure him back into coaching.
That right opportunity turned out to be at Clemson, and he was hired by head coach Dabo Swinney in early December to improve a unit that has struggled in recent seasons. Luke got to know his players during bowl practice and coached in the Gator Bowl win over Kentucky, and this spring practice has given him even more of a chance to mold the line into the image he wants.
