Social media reacts: Clemson offers transfer portal offensive lineman

Clemson offered a transfer portal offensive lineman on Wednesday, and fans were delighted on social media.

To the delight of many fans, Clemson is officially active in the transfer portal.

Division-II Shorter offensive tackle Alan Herron announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday that the Tigers have offered him. Herron entered the portal on Nov. 16 and, along with Clemson, has since received offers from Penn State, NC State, UCF, Boston College and Arkansas State. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound lineman is a three-star in 247Sports’ transfer portal rankings.

Clemson has shied away from grabbing transfers in the past, with head coach Dabo Swinney being adamant that a player must be the right fit for Clemson to offer him. That said, if Wednesday’s news is any indication, Swinney may be adapting his ways a bit and using the portal more this offseason than he and the Tigers have in the past.

Here’s how people on X, formerly known as Twitter, reacted to the news of Clemson dipping its toes into the transfer portal:

Transfer portal offensive lineman Alan Herron announces Clemson offer

Clemson is showing some much-needed activity in the transfer portal.

Something Clemson fans have been hoping for is more activity from the Tigers in the transfer portal and it looks like we might be getting just that.

The Tigers need help on the offensive line and they are attempting to address that in the transfer portal, sending out an offer before Clemson’s bowl game has even been announced. This is an excellent sign as Clemson needs to adapt and take advantage of the portal, even if it’s just a little bit more.

Division-II Shorter offensive tackle Alan Herron announced the Tigers have offered him via X. Herron is a hot name in the portal after entering on November 16 and would be a great addition to the Tigers.
