One scholarship player who didn’t travel with Clemson for Saturday’s game at North Carolina is junior linebacker Jamal Anderson.

Following the Tigers’ 38-10 win over the Tar Heels, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney explained why Anderson wasn’t on the travel roster and didn’t make the trip to Chapel Hill.

Swinney said it was a coach’s decision and that the Tigers are planning to redshirt him in order to give him a couple more years.

“We’re going to try to hold him,” Swinney said. “He’s a guy I met with him this spring, and we actually talked about – we hardly played him his freshman year, at all.
