CLEMSON — One way or another, Will Heldy is a guy many Clemson fans will never forget.
Back in December, Heldt became the first-ever defender to join the Tigers via the transfer portal. While Dabo Swinney had taken a small number of backup quarterbacks out of the portal in the past, this offseason was the first time he felt the need to add impact players to his roster out of the portal.
Heldt was one of three transfers Swinney signed, joining WR Tristan Smith and LB Jeremiah Alexander. While all three are expected to contribute, Heldt is the only one expected to start when the season kicks off against LSU on August 30.
