Hunter Johnson is headed back to Clemson and will take a spot in the Tigers’ quarterback room for his sixth and final season of college football.
The former Northwestern quarterback entered the transfer portal late last week, but it was an earlier call to Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney about a spot as a graduate assistant that set the stage for Monday’s announcement.
Johnson, a former 5-star recruit out of Brownsburg (IN), began his collegiate career at Clemson, where he sat behind Kelly Bryant and was there for the first spring of the Trevor Lawrence.
