Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney named the successor for Joey Batson as strength and conditioning coach following the 2025 season.

Swinney said during his weekly radio show on Monday night that Dennis Love will replace Batson as Clemson Football’s strength and conditioning coach.

Love returned to Clemson in January 2022 as Batson’s right-hand man.

“I’m really excited about Dennis Love,” Swinney said. “And honestly, Joey was the one that kind of, he hand-picked Dennis. Dennis, if you ask our players, people come back from all over to train with D-Love. They love Dennis, and Dennis has great experience.
