Swinney shares feel-good story about walk-on kicker

Perhaps there is no bigger weapon on Clemson’s football team than B.T. Potter, especially with the Tigers averaging 43 points per game with a defense that is allowing just 6.5.

Last year, Potter banged 79 of his 100 kickoffs through the end zone, forcing opponents to consistently have to go 75 yards to score. He is already off to a good start this season. Through two games, Potter has drilled all eight of his kicks through the end zone for touchbacks.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said on his call-in show Monday night that it is good to have a guy like Potter.
