Overton rewarded for decision not to transfer

In the current college football landscape, where players often place their names in the NCAA transfer portal when things aren’t going their way at a school, Diondre Overton made the choice to stick it out at Clemson.

After a lot of hard work and patience, Overton saw that decision pay off on Saturday, when the senior wide receiver exploded for a career-high 119 yards on three receptions for a school-record-tying three touchdown catches in the Tigers’ 59-7 win over Boston College at Death Valley.

“I think it’s a great message,” co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Jeff Scott said of Overton’s breakout game.
