Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was surprised no one in the media had asked him about linebacker James Skalski, who missed most of fall camp with a toe injury.
Swinney told the media following Wednesday’s practice at the Allen Reeves Football Complex in Clemson that the junior is back at practice and his doing well. He also gave another update on Skalski that no one saw coming.
“We’re actually going to try and hold Skalski,” Swinney said.
By hold, Swinney means redshirt. Thanks to the NCAA’s new redshirt rules, coaches can also hold older players back and tag them if they feel it is in the best interest of the player and the team.
