Swinney on Veteran Lineman’s Eligibility Status for 2027
On Tuesday, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney commented on a veteran starting offensive lineman’s eligibility status for next season.
Swinney shared that starting right tackle Collin Sadler has a medical extension waiver that makes him eligible to return for a sixth season of college football in 2027.
However, whether he plays a sixth year remains to be seen. Swinney noted that the choice rests with Sadler, stating, “he’ll have to decide if he wants to do it” or move on from football.
“He’s got a medical, so he actually has a sixth year,” Swinney said. “So, he’ll be a guy that he’ll have to decide if he wants to do it. So, we’ll see.”
