Swinney changing with the times, including thoughts on transfer portal
Dabo Swinney has made his stance on the NCAA transfer portal clear, and that stance has not changed – at least, not for now.
Clemson’s head coach is a firm believer in addressing the needs of his team through recruiting high school prospects, and that is evidenced by the fact the Tigers have never tapped into the transfer portal to add talent.
However, prior to Clemson’s first spring practice on Wednesday, Swinney left the door open a little bit when discussing the transfer portal and said while his philosophy about it remains the same, he understands the current landscape of college football and is making sure his program has a plan in place should it need to adjust to the transfer climate.
