Clemson punter describes his journey to Clemson

CLEMSON - Junior Clemson punter Aidan Swanson has grown up his entire life as a Clemson fan. Now, he is a starter on the football team.

“Growing up, I was a Clemson fan. My mom went here and her sister as well,” Swanson said. He explained that the three main colleges who tried to recruit him were Clemson, Nebraska, and University of Central Florida. While UCF was close to home, he knew that he had family near Clemson as well. It was quite the experience for him to come to Clemson.

“The first day I got here in the spring of 2019, I’m back there getting ready for punt reps and I’m shaking,” said Swanson.
