I guess he was the third player people were talking about with bell and possibly fuller joining Johnson in tramsferring. I didn't see this one coming tbh but guess when Wilkins decided to come back he knew he wouldn't see the field nearly as much this year. Heard nothing but good things about him but happens when kids want playing time. Time for Huggins and possibly belk to step up. Wish you luck sterling. Go Tigers!!

Thin at DT? We went three deep at both spots, DB's and DE's were much thinner depth wise due to injuries.

I wish him the best. I just wonder how close he is to a diploma? If he has it, I get him leaving. If he doesn't, he may lose some credits, but good for him in making the tough decision.

What makes a player decide to transfer?
Feb 6, 2018, 8:11 PM

Everyone says it's the playing time, but if they're not getting any playing time at Clemson then I highly doubt that they will get too much playing time elsewhere.

. He's been there three years, why not try to graduate next year and play in another FBS program.

Our returning Defensive Line has 4 NFL 1st round picks on it. Anyone behind them is burning a year of eligibility with absolutely zero chance of cracking the starting line up. Guys that are Freshmen or Sophomores are fine with that. Guys that only have 1 or 2 years left need to think about leaving. Those are the facts.
Regardless of the "why am I not playing" scenarios, some of our guys are good enough to get playing time at lesser schools, like Ohio State or South Carolina or Texas A&M. They're doing what they need to do to get playing time in the hopes that they can still get a combine invite and possibly get drafted.

All 4 DL won’t be playing every snap all season in every game...this is a hit to our depth and rotation....that’s the issue here.

Not that big of a hit for a 3rd string DT to leave, not when we have what we do returning and are bringing in two 4 star guys.

I think it has more to do with #42 coming back.

First, Good luck big fella.
Just a darn shame that we can’t take some of these transfers and turn them into db’s.

Ironic this is announced the night before signing day. Is this timing in order to land a DL we are recruiting?
