CLEMSON — According to head coach Dabo Swinney, Clemson’s defense stole the show at Memorial Stadium on Wednesday. Specifically, several transfer defenders turned heads in the Tigers’ first scrimmage of the spring.
“All those new guys have have really flashed for us,” Swinney said. “We’re a more cohesive group across the board. We’re just not making a lot of mistakes on defense. You’re having to earn everything and that’s been encouraging.”
Of the 10 transfers Clemson added in the portal window, eight will play defense for the Tigers under coordinator Tom Allen next season. After the scrimmage, Swinney highlighted all eight for the strengths they have demonstrated so far.
