While the ACC has yet to finalize the schedules for next season, we do know Clemson’s opponents.
Today, The Clemson Insider continues its series that looks at each of those opponents and the moves each has made in the transfer portal. Players lost, as well as players added.
We don’t know what date yet, but we do know that the Tigers will travel to Chestnut Hill next season to take on Boston College.
The Eagles have been fairly active in the portal, mostly adding players from the FCS level. However, the biggest addition is quarterback Dylan Lonergan, who spent his first two seasons at Alabama.
