CLEMSON — One guy who is not surprised to see Ian Schieffelin turn his attention to Clemson football is his former head coach.
Clemson Men’s Basketball coach Brad Brownell told a crowd at IPTAY’s Road Show in Greenville Thursday night that Schieffelin has a love for football that goes back to his younger days when he played football at Grayson High School in Loganville, Ga.
Schieffelin, and Clemson Football, made it official Friday that the former basketball star is now a member of the football team and will play for the Tigers this coming season.
According to NCAA rules, once a student-athlete has used up their eligibility in one sport, they are free to pursue other sports as long as they still have remaining eligibility within their five-year window.
