CLEMSON — Every team has that one player with an unshakable heart—the one everyone wants to see succeed. For Clemson’s transfer wide receiver Tristan Smith, that’s exactly who he’s become.
A native of LaGrange, Ga., Smith’s path to Clemson wasn’t the smooth, straight-line journey many players take. After time at Southeast Missouri State and Hutchinson Community College, he found his way to Death Valley.
And he’s never taken a moment for granted.
It’s clear from his effort and attitude that Smith is simply grateful to be a Tiger and to play for a program like Clemson.
