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.
