Swinney Asked if He Knows Who Starting Punter Will Be
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was asked during his Tuesday press conference if he knows who the Tigers’ starting punter will be.
Swinney admits the punter competition might not be decided until pregame warmups before Saturday’s game against LSU.
“Maybe, maybe, maybe. I might watch pregame warmups, it might be coming down to that,” Swinney said.
Redshirt juniors Jack Smith, Will McCune and Robert Gunn III are all competing for the starting punter position.
“Again, as I’ve said, we’ve got a competition, and I think we’re as far as we can go into the competition without going to the games,” Swinney said. “Because they’ve all been really good, and they’ve all been just OK.”
