TJ Parker explains why he rejected offers to play elsewhere to stay at Clemson

Offseasons have gotten tougher for college football (and basketball) coaches during the NIL era. Dabo Swinney has not only had to piece together a high school recruiting class and dip his toe into the transfer portal as of late, but he's also working hard to retain his top players every year.

Tampering has ran rampant throughout college football offseasons for the past few years and it's only getting messier with more NIL money being involved.

So it wasn't all that shocking to hear guys like Cade Klubnik, Peter Woods, and TJ Parker all admit that other schools tried to make a run at them this offseason.
