CLEMSON — Fans will get their first look at the 2024 version of the Clemson football team Saturday when the Coach Dabo Swinney’s 17th team will play the annual Orange-White spring game at Memorial Stadium.
A crowd of approximately 50,000 is expected.
The Tigers are coming off a 9-4 season – their first with fewer than 10 victories since 2010. But Clemson finished the season with a flourish, winning five consecutive games, including a 38-35 victory against Kentucky in the Gator Bowl.
Clemson returns eight of 11 offensive starters from that game, including quarterback Cade Klubnik and leading rusher Phil Mafah. Not including nickelback Khalil Barnes, the Tigers return just three starters on defense – linebackers Barrett Carter and Wade Woodaz and safety R.J. Mickens.
