Regardless if you can see this link on Instagram or not, Van Smith is always posting negative things about Dabo and Clemson now.
This post was about Clemson losing their magic. And in the past he’s blasted Dabo for his reluctance for changing his views about the portal and all that.
I don’t see many former college players for any team put their alma mater on blast as much as Smith does.
I don’t know what the reason for the hate is, but it’s not a good look.
Anyone know what could’ve made him act this way?
I don’t see any other former Clemson players have such a problem, so why him?

This is the problem with leaving early for the draft or through the portal for NIL... it doesn't always work out. Get your degree first, and then leave (unless you're a star player).

I know he through some false accusations out there about the program and some of his former teammates called him out on it.

No offense…but it feels like someone here stumbles across this guy about once a month…
Inevitably they post the link - why give him any attention?
He’s bitter …and using his affiliation with Clemson to get attention…

Opted to leave after his junior year and declare for the NFL draft...

He was a solid collegiate player but probably lacked the size or the speed to play in the NFL. In fact, A LOT of people were surprised when he left early. If I remember correctly, he signed with the Atlanta Legends of the now bankrupt Alliance of American Football, but ended-up getting cut. Now he's bitter that his career didn't play out the may he envisioned. He listened to the wrong people and that's apparently everyone's fault but his own. Several former players have called him out over some of the false statements and comments that he has made.

"All That" even in college, much less an early departure NFL talent. I remember being very surprised at that decision at the time, thinking it was a major mistake. That was proven out, but, as has been said, some people like to blame everyone but themselves for their own mistakes and shortcomings. I would just give him, and whatever he says the Ignore.

both whom are in the NFL, both were younger than him and outplayed him. He isn’t that’s why he is bitter.

Tough to take advice from a player who left as a Junior to go to the NFL and never played a snap in the league.

I hope he sees this lol
With how much he posts about Clemson football it makes sense that he would have an undercover account on TNET to troll and keep up with what fans think
Van, it seems like you’re trying to get back at Clemson because you think you were done wrong by Clemson. I mean, if you didn’t think that then you wouldn’t put so much effort into posting so much negativity. Clemson is one place in this world where the people around you are encouraged to love others, and to support you. Why you think any coach or player had true hate for you and wanted to see you fail is beyond me.

I hope van Smith has something else to occupy his time and put food on the table, because he only has 5000 followers.

Not surprising in that he and Rencher couldn’t help themselves with the blm bullcrap. Not both in the same graduating class with the same anti-Dabo crap. My guess is he ends up with a baby mamma on government supply so who gives a ……

Just because you hate him for his activism doesn’t mean he put down Clemson. And Rencher graduated long after Van Smith. You are a true P O S, trying to defame a good Clemson Man. Rencher constantly post positive things about Clemson on his twitter account

He got some bad advice to declare for the NFL draft and his career never panned out. Now he's blaming everyone but himself. Shame because if he'd stayed another year I think he'd have had a shot.

Uncle Rico level has been clown Van Smith. Why give this troll any attention. Many of his own former teammates blast him publicly.
