Veteran Clemson OL enters transfer portal

A Clemson offensive lineman is entering the transfer portal.

A veteran Clemson offensive lineman is looking for a new team after entering the transfer portal on Wednesday.

Mitchell Mayes took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday to announce his intention to leave Clemson through the portal. Mayes has spent the last four seasons as a Tiger, appearing in nine games (five starts) this year.

“It was a blessing to be able to attend and graduate from Clemson University,” Mayes said. “I learned so much and met so many great people throughout the journey. I am thankful for my coaches, trainers, staff, teammates and fans who have watched me these past four years. After careful consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.”

A former three-star recruit, Mayes has been in and out of the Tigers’ offensive line unit this season as Clemson has been inconsistent and has struggled with injuries.

Mayes joins quarterback Hunter Helms as Tigers who have entered the transfer portal since the Tigers’ final game of the regular season last Saturday.
