Clemson junior offensive tackle Shaq Anthony will transfer to another school.  Anthony met with  head coach Dabo Swinney on Thursday morning to discuss his decision.

“I have enjoyed my time at Clemson and appreciate the opportunity I’ve had,” Anthony said. “This is an outstanding program, but I wish to make a clean start at a program where I can hopefully be a starter. I want to thank all the Clemson coaches, my teammates and the Clemson family for their support. I will always be a Tiger.”

Anthony lettered in 2012 and 2013 and played in 17 games over those two years, five as a starter. He  redshirted the 2011 season and was listed as a backup offensive tackle entering fall camp. Anthony was scheduled to sit out the season-opener at Georgia due to a violation of team rules.

The native of Williamston, S.C. played in 10 games last year for the Tigers’ 11-2 team that finished seventh in the final USA Today Coaches Poll.
