With Elliott coaching, tight ends gravitate towards receiving aspects

Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott says he is having fun coaching the tight ends thus far.

Elliott moved over as the Tigers’ new tight ends coach, replacing Danny Pearman, who is now the new director of scouting for Clemson Football. Pearman had coached the tight ends since Dabo Swinney became head coach in 2009.

With Elliott moving to tight ends coach, C.J. Spiller moved up as Clemson’s new running backs coach after spending last season assisting Elliott with the running backs.

Elliott inherits a talented crew of tight ends, which includes veterans Braden Galloway and Davis Allen.
