Former Clemson walk-on football players are in jeopardy of losing their scholarships as the program has surpassed its 85-scholarship limit.
Clemson currently has 88 scholarship players mainly due to an influx of seniors returning for their final year. However, the program must meet its max of 85 by August.
“We didn’t anticipate seven seniors coming back,” said Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney on Tuesday, per TigerNet. “We do a good job in managing our roster but that put us over. … They all know. We tell them upfront. We can’t guarantee you this next year but hopefully, we will be able to keep you on. … It is what it is. That is the life of a walk-on.”
