Clemson basketball player Ian Schieffelin has accepted an offer from football coach Dabo Swinney to play tight end for the Tigers. Schieffelin, a 6-foot-8 power forward, had been preparing for a professional basketball career after a solid NCAA season. However, he chose to forgo that path temporarily to join the football team, drawn by the opportunity to wear a Clemson jersey and be coached by Swinney. Having previously averaged 12.4 points and 9.4 rebounds, Schieffelin's transition reflects his athletic versatility and desire for new challenges.
"Dabo just walked me through the opportunity he was willing to give me, and it all sounded great, something I wanted to jump on."
"To be able to be coached by Dabo and [tight ends coach Kyle] Richardson is just a huge opportunity I couldn't pass up."
