CLEMSON – Clemson’s kicking situation is in a state of flux, so head coach Dabo Swinney brought an engineering student-kicker to practice Wednesday on what he jokingly called a 10-day contract.

Alex Spence is just 2-for-6 since replacing Greg Huegel at kicker, so Swinney reached into the student body for a kicker who played his high school ball at Bishop-England and almost won a spot two years ago before Huegel took the job.

“We brought a new kid out today. I told him he's on a day-to-day contract, kick-to-kick contract,” Swinney told the media after Wednesday’s practice.
