After retiring from football, former Tiger enters transfer portal

Former Clemson defensive end Richard Yeargin has entered the transfer portal, The Clemson Insider confirmed Monday.

Last August, Yeargin informed Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney he was stepping away from football, citing injuries as reason for stepping away from the game.

Those feelings have obviously changed since he has placed his name in the transfer portal.

During the second week of fall camp last August, Swinney reported Yeargin was out of practice with some sort of a stinger in his shoulder and was checking with his doctor to make sure everything was okay. At the time Swinney believed it was not related to the neck injury he suffered in June of 2017 in a one-car traffic accident at I-385 and Woodruff Road in Greenville, S.
