CLEMSON – Most college students experience nerves on their first day of classes, whether it is getting to the correct building, arriving on time, or balancing their homework load.
While Tristan Smith, a senior transfer wide receiver for Clemson, is dealing with the normal stress of being a new student, he also had to battle the nerves of his first day of Division 1 fall camp on July 31.
After transferring from FCS Southeast Missouri State in the offseason, Smith came in as a “big-time player” and “the happiest guy on the team,” according to head coach Dabo Swinney.
