Florida punter ‘shocked’ by offer from dream school Clemson
Tampa (Fla.) Jesuit 2019 punter/kickoff specialist Aidan Swanson earned a preferred walk-on offer from Clemson at the Dabo Swinney Camp on Wednesday.
“It came out of nowhere really, and I was shocked by it,” Swanson told TCI. “But at the same time, it’s my dream school. It’s big for me. I appreciate it a lot.”
Swanson (6-2, 165) learned of the news from Swinney himself after impressing during yesterday’s kicking session.
“Coach Swinney comes up to me and tells me that if he could take me, he wants to take me now,” Swanson said, laughing. “Then he asked me to meet up with my parents and talk to them for a little bit, and he gave me the preferred walk-on offer.”
