Despite appearing in four games for the Clemson Tigers last season before leaving the program, quarterback Kelly Bryant will not receive a championship ring.
According to ESPN's Chris Low, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney explained the reasoning Wednesday: "He wasn't on the team. You've gotta be on the team to get a ring. I love Kelly and appreciate what he did for us, but he decided to move on."
Bryant left Clemson when he was supplanted by Trevor Lawrence as the starting quarterback, and the Tigers went on to win the national championship with a 44-16 victory over Alabama.
