Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney spoke with the media after the Tigers wrapped up fall camp Tuesday and gave an update on where things stand in the backup quarterback battle between true freshman D.J. Uiagalelei and redshirt freshman Taisun Phommachanh.
Uiagalelei was impressive in his first camp at Clemson and showed he can learn on the fly, while Phommachanh has really improved since he stepped foot on campus in January 2019 according to Swinney.
“We’ve got two excellent prospects right there, two really talented (players),” Swinney said. “Taisun has been here a year, and he’s a little bit more of a developmental guy from where he started, but man he’s made huge strides in a year.
