Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney confirmed to ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi that offensive coordinator Tony Elliott has tested positive for COVID-19.
Clemson announced before the Tigers took off for New Orleans that Elliott would not be available to coach in the game due to COVID-19 protocols.
“The good news is he is doing great,” Swinney said after he got off the plane. “He does not have any symptoms of anything like that, so we wish he was with us, but he will be with us in spirit. He will be Zooming in with us until we get on the bus and go play.
