Swinney says NIL and portal are not the problem: 'The problem is tampering'

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says the Tigers are invested in the transfer portal and are trying to bring in a few players to help in critical spots.

The transfer portal opened up earlier this week, and the Tigers already have several players moving on, including defensive end David Ojiegbe and safety Andrew Mukuba. Swinney, on a call Thursday to preview the Gator Bowl matchup against Kentucky, was asked how he looked at the transfer portal this season.

“Really, nothing's different than it's ever been. We evaluate the portal just like we evaluate anything else,” Swinney said.
