Clemson Lands Purdue Edge Rusher Will Heldt
Clemson secured a rare transfer under head coach Dabo Swinney with the addition of Purdue edge rusher Will Heldt. Heldt, who made 56 tackles (10 for loss), five sacks, and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown in 2024, becomes the first defensive player to transfer into Clemson during Swinney’s tenure.
This marks a significant move for Clemson, which has largely avoided the transfer portal under Swinney.
