CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney isn’t quite ready to push the panic button and look for a quarterback in the transfer portal, but he does admit that the Tigers are thin at the sport’s most pivotal spot.
Backup quarterback Taisun Phommachanh suffered what Swinney says is an Achilles tear late in the spring game Saturday, leaving his status for the 2021 season in doubt. That leaves starter DJ Uiagalelei and walk-on Hunter Helms as the only quarterbacks on the roster who have seen game action.
Two signees are set to enroll for the summer in Bubba Chandler and Will Taylor and another walk-on is coming with Billy Wiles, and Swinney said he sees help on the way.
