After transferring to Clemson ahead of the 2025 campaign, Tristan Smith has seen his playing time increase over the past two games.
The senior wide receiver played just 14 total snaps across Clemson’s first three games this season, but logged 15 snaps against Syracuse on Sept. 20, and then 25 snaps in last Saturday’s 38-10 win at North Carolina.
Against UNC, Smith recorded season highs with three receptions for 29 yards, after catching two passes for 26 yards against Syracuse, including an impressive 23-yard catch and run.
During his weekly Tuesday press conference, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney spoke about Smith carving out more of a role in the Tigers’ offense.
