Swinney Loves Smith, and Smith Is Loving Clemson

Clemson offensive coordinator Garrett Riley said recently that Tristan Smith has flashed during spring ball.

Head coach Dabo Swinney said the same thing about the transfer wide receiver, who has drawn plenty of positive reviews in his first spring with the Tigers.

“He’s flashed all spring,” Swinney said of Smith following Clemson’s second scrimmage of spring practice on March 26.

Smith transferred to Clemson after a stellar 2024 season at Southeast Missouri State, where he was a second-team Big South-OVC Football Association all-conference selection after catching 76 passes for 934 yards and six touchdown receptions in 11 games.
