CLEMSON – Dabo Swinney thinks that Banks Pope has the kind of name that fits right in at Clemson, but he also says that the redshirt sophomore tight end has a lot of work to do even after a strong performance in the spring game.

Pope was targeted six times and hauled in four receptions for 67 yards for the White team in a 20-13 victory over the Orange in the spring game. His 67 yards led both teams and his 16.7 yards per receptions average finished second only to fellow tight end Jake Briningstool.
