Is Dabo Swinney's transfer stance crippling Clemson?

There are 134 programs playing FBS college football. Just four of them did not add a single transfer to its roster this offseason.

Army, Navy, Air Force and … Clemson.

Maybe you can spot the outlier.

Transfers have long been part of college football roster building but they took on a pronounced role over the last few years as the NCAA began allowing players to move between programs without having to sit out a season.

Coaches use transfers to fill holes in rosters, add depth and experience, bring in pops of talent and so on.
