ESPN college football studio host and commentator Matt Barrie joined Clemson alums Kelly Gramlich and Eric Mac Lain on the Gramlich & Mac Lain show’s Summer Guest Series.
Barrie, who joined ESPN in March 2013, gave some thoughts on various teams in the ACC, including Clemson.
Barrie believes Clemson is one of the nation’s elite teams entering the 2025 season, coming off a 2024 campaign that saw Dabo Swinney’s squad capture the ACC Championship and make the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff.
Barrie says this is the year Swinney and company have been “waiting for,” with the Tigers returning quarterback Cade Klubnik and a host of other stars on both sides of the ball.
