Clemson transfer OL target commits to Penn State

One of Clemson’s top targets in the transfer portal has committed to Penn State.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program have looked to be more active in the transfer portal this season, and they recently missed out on one of their top targets in the portal.

Transfer offensive tackle Alan Herron announced via social media that he has committed to play football at Penn State. The former Division II player out of Shorter University will join the Nittany Lions over schools such as Clemson, Auburn, Louisville, and more.

A miss for the Tigers, Herron was recently ranked the No.12 player in the transfer portal by ESPN. Clemson will have to look elsewhere in the portal as they attempt to bolster their offensive line.

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.

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.
