Swinney Praises Transfer DT after Game-Changing Play
Following Clemson’s 18-13 victory over Syracuse last Saturday, head coach Dabo Swinney praised transfer defensive tackle Kourtney Kelly for making a major impact after fighting his way back from a torn ACL suffered during spring practice.
After making his long-awaited Clemson debut on Oct. 17 vs. Charleston Southern, Kelly logged 20 snaps in the loss to Virginia Tech the following week and then contributed a couple of tackles in the win at Florida State a week later.
While Kelly has been back in the fold over the last few weeks, the 6-foot-3, 290-pound junior really made his presence felt in the win at Syracuse.
