Clemson Defender Ranked Among Top 100 Transfers

ESPN ranked the top players who switched teams in the transfer portal this offseason, and Clemson’s Will Heldt made the list.

The former Purdue defensive end landed at No. 28 in the top 100 transfers rankings, which ESPN “based on production, experience, potential, demand and feedback from coaches and GMs throughout the sport.”

Heldt transferred to Clemson following two productive seasons at Purdue, where he played in all 24 games for the Boilermakers from 2023-24.

“Purdue produced one of the top edge rushers in the portal last offseason in Nic Scourton, and now Heldt looks like he’s up next,” ESPN’s Max Olson wrote.
