Former Clemson wide receiver is headed to the USFL championship game

A former Clemson pass-catcher that was a part of the 2016 and 2018 national championship teams will now play in the USFL championship game.

One of Clemson’s former wide receivers is headed to the United States Football League (USFL) championship game.

Playing in the semifinals on Saturday, Diondre Overton and the Philadelphia Stars defeated the New Jersey Generals, 19-14, to advance to the final against the Birmingham Stallions, which will be played on July 3. The Stars and the Stallions played once in the regular season when the Stallions defeated the Stars by 13 points.

In the win over the Generals, Overton finished with two receptions for a team-high 65 yards, 50 of which came on this bomb which set up a field goal attempt that was missed.

Overton spent four seasons at Clemson from 2016 to 2019, winning two national championships. In his last season, he was fifth in receiving yards for the Tigers with 352 on 22 receptions while playing in 11 games. Coming out of high school, he was rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports Composite.
