Clemson, SC - Dabo Swinney put his team through a near three-hour practice on Thursday afternoon at the practice fields behind the Jervey Athletic Center. He finished the practice with a four-period (20 minute) offense vs. defense competition. There was no tackling but it was a good opportunity to have the team work on their assignments.

It was the third day of the NCAA mandated five-day acclimatization period. The Tigers won't put on the full uniform until Monday morning when they have the first of four two-a-days between August 10-17.

Clemson will practice Tuesday through Saturday this week in the evening, then take Sunday off.

Clemson, SC -- Barry Humphries is no longer a member of the Clemson football team, Head Coach Dabo Swinney announced on Friday. Humphries intends to transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility this fall.

Dabo Swinney"I would like to be a starter in my final year of college and it would be very difficult for that to be the case at Clemson this year," said Humphries. "With my suspension for the first two games I was not going to get a lot of action in preseason camp, and it was going to be difficult to get in the mix as a starter. So, I plan to transfer to a school where I might have the opportunity to get a starting position."

Humphries was to serve a two-game suspension to open the season for a violation of team rules had he remained at Clemson. He was listed as a fourth team center and guard entering preseason camp, which starts on Tuesday.

Greensboro, NC - Clemson's football coach Dabo Swinney was among the twelve ACC football coaches present at the 2009 ACC Football Kickoff.
