Clemson wide receiver Germone Hopper will transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility. Hopper plans to graduate this summer, then play for another school next fall.  The native of Charlotte, N.C. had 71 career receptions for 797 yards over the last three years.  He red-shirted his first year.

“Germone has decided to finish up his degree at Clemson and play his fifth year at another school,” said head coach Dabo Swinney.  “We are proud of the progress he made as a Clemson Tiger and appreciate the contributions he made to our program over the last four years. We wish him all the best.”

Hopper had 21 receptions for 317 yards and a touchdown in 2015 when he played in 15 games, three as a starter on Clemson’s number-two ranked team that finished with a 14-1 record.   He had his best game against Wake Forest when he had three receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown.

As TCI reported Wednesday morning, Hopper decided to leave the team on his own and it was not related to any disciplinary action. On Feb. 3, TCI first reported Hopper was not attending team activities and had not met some of his academic responsibilities.
