CLEMSON, S.C. -- Dabo Swinney opened his 14th spring practice as Clemson's head coach last month by doing something he'd never done before. While addressing his team's depth on the offensive line -- a position group heavily criticized throughout last year's 10-3 campaign -- he revealed that he was actively looking to add a transfer.
Among college coaches, there's a wide spectrum of willingness to engage in the transfer market, with some wholeheartedly embracing the opportunity to add to their roster and others only dabbling in the portal. Swinney, however, might be the least eager coach in the country when it comes to the portal, recently telling ESPN he planned to use it only as a last resort.
