When running back Tavien Feaster placed his name in the transfer portal on April 24, it was really the first time Clemson had a player do such.
Former quarterback Kelly Bryant eventually went into the NCAA’s transfer portal, one of the first to do so, but it came a week or so after he left the school following Week 4 of the 2018 football season.
So, Feaster’s journey into the transfer portal, which means a player is now allowed to talk to any school he wants to while he finishes up the semester or gets his degree at his original school, was the first such experience for head coach Dabo Swinney and his program.
