Jul 9, 2024, 9:59 AM

Former Clemson kicker and midfielder signee Tanner Tessmann, who is Dabo Swinney's godson, was named to the US Men's Olympic Soccer Team on Monday. The mostly under-23 roster (by Olympic rules) was captained by Tessmann in an exhibition versus Japan earlier this summer.

Tessmann has reportedly signed a deal with Italian Serie A champion Inter Milan where he will have one more season with Venezia before moving to Inter Milan in 2025.

Info on what's next from US Soccer: The U.S. men will take the field for their first Olympic tournament appearance since 2008. The journey will begin July 24 against host France at the iconic Stade Stade de Marseille in Marseille (3 p.m. EDT). Group A play will continue three days later in Marseille against New Zealand (1 p.m. EDT) and then conclude on July 30 against Guinea in Saint-Étienne (1 p.m. EDT). The top two finishers in the four-team group will advance to the Aug. 2 quarterfinals. (The games are scheduled to be streamed on Peacock/NBCOlympics.com)
