Everything Dabo Swinney said Thursday before start of fall camp

With just 30 days until Clemson opens the 2024 season against the Georgia Bulldogs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (noon ET, ABC), Tigers coach Dabo Swinney met with the media at the Allen Reeves Football Complex Thursday before the official start of fall camp.

“We’re ready to roll,” Swinney said in his opening statement to reporters. “Excited to get back on the grass, man. It never gets old. Like I said a week or so ago, everything builds to this. This is what we love to do: to be able to get back into the meetings, get back onto the field and just start putting it together and getting ready to go compete against some other people.

“So, it’s a lot of fun. We’ve had a good couple of weeks as far as staff-wise getting ready in our meetings and prep, and last couple of days with players, trying to get them acclimated from a program standpoint, as well. Now we can get out there and get on with it and get to work on the football side of it. So, ready to roll.”

Here’s everything Swinney had to say Thursday.
