CLEMSON — Last month, news broke that true freshman Marquise Henderson had been dismissed from the Clemson Football team.

The in-state talent, out of Belton-Honea Path, signed with the Tigers as a four-star prospect in the 2025 recruiting class. He was an early enrollee and was on campus for spring practice.

However, Henderson dealt with injuries, as well as behavioral issues, and was not present for the spring game.

On Tuesday, head coach Dabo Swinney was asked about Henderson’s dismissal during Clemson Football’s Media Outing.

“It just didn’t work out,” Swinney said from the Smart Family Media Center. “There is a standard here and it just didn’t work out. Hate it for him, but wish him well.”

After his dismissal, Henderson quickly entered the transfer portal and announced a commitment to Liberty.

The record-setting running back at nearby Belton-Honea Path (S.C.) High School, led his team to the 2024 State Class AAAA Semifinals in the state of South Carolina. He finished his high school career just shy of 8,000 all-purpose yards over 47 games.
