New Clemson Coach Breaks Down Transfer Receiver

CLEMSON – When a player transfers from another school, especially a smaller school, no one really knows what to expect.

This is the situation surrounding new Clemson wide receiver Tristan Smith.

He came to Clemson from a relatively unknow FCS program called Southeast Missouri State. In the one season he played there, Smith hauled in 76 catches for 934 yards and six touchdowns. Very solid numbers indeed, but again, he did it at an FCS school.

Can Smith do it at Clemson? Can he do it in the ACC? Can he be a difference maker in a game like the LSU game, which the Tigers open with on Aug.
