CLEMSON — One of the biggest concerns for the Clemson football team heading into the summer centered around the punter.

All offseason, fans lamented the fact that Dabo Swinney chose not to dip into the transfer portal for a punter. And the more the fans moaned, the harder Swinney pushed back, insisting he was confident the Tigers already had what was needed on the roster.

Jack Smith, Will McCune and Robert Gunn all battled for the job throughout fall camp, with Swinney choosing not to publicly name a starter ahead of the big season opener against LSU.
