Clemson Tigers double down on Christopher Vizzina as their quarterback, leaving fans and insiders questioning Dabo Swinney’s high-stakes loyalty play. With the transfer portal buzzing and contenders reloading at QB, Dabo’s refusal to pursue outside talent puts all eyes on Vezina—does Clemson have the firepower to contend, or is the program risking a major setback?

Morgan Thomas breaks down the Tigers’ offseason moves, spotlighting concerns about limited quarterback experience and the risks of prioritizing roster stability over competition. The analysis covers Clemson’s urgent focus on rebuilding the defensive front, the strategic addition of Chad Morris to steady the offense, and uncertainty around depth in the QB room. Key topics feature the implications for Dabo Swinney’s legacy, pressure on staff and boosters, and whether this calculated gamble will deliver ACC dominance—or spark a total reboot for Clemson football.
