Swinney compared Taylor to college football legend

Will Taylor turned down a lot of money from the 2021 MLB Draft to play football and baseball at Clemson.

After Day 5 of fall camp on Wednesday on the practice fields behind the Allen Reeves Football Complex head coach Dabo Swinney compared Taylor to the most unassuming quarterback in college football who went on to assert himself as a legend, Doug Flutie.

“Will Taylor can do anything. I called him Doug Flutie the other day, I imagine that’s what Doug Flutie looked like,” Swinney said.

Flutie played quarterback at Boston College from 1981-84 and had an illustrious career and won the 1984 Heisman Trophy.
