Dabo Swinney Downplays Clemson Signing 0 Transfers in 2024 Portal, Cites HS Commits

Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney isn't sweating the fact that his program didn't land a single player in the transfer portal this offseason.

During an appearance on ACC PM, Swinney explained the lack of transfers, saying: "It wasn't really necessarily like an intentional thing. There was a couple guys we looked at, but they gotta love you too."

Swinney then shifted the focus toward Clemson's incoming recruiting class, saying: "Honestly, every player is technically a transfer. We just signed a whole class of guys transferring from high school."

The transfer portal has become a major asset for coaches to improve their team, especially since the advent of the current name, image and likeness (NIL) rules, but Clemson has taken a more traditional approach.
