Swinney says Tigers will "actively pursue" a lineman in transfer portal

CLEMSON – Clemson’s offensive line is already down two centers with the season still six months away, and head coach Dabo Swinney said the Tigers will look to the transfer portal for another offensive lineman.

The two players who started at center the most last season – Hunter Rayburn and Mason Trotter – are not available. Rayburn suffered a career-ending injury and Trotter won’t play until possibly December.

“Y'all all know about Hunter Rayburn. We knew that was a possibility. He really wanted to play one more year and we was really just coming into his own and really becoming a heck of a player,” Swinney said Wednesday.
