From Court to Gridiron: Star Basketball Player’s Shocking Switch to Football Stuns Fans
So, here’s a curious twist you probably didn’t see coming: Clemson basketball’s own Ian Schieffelin—yes, the 6-foot-8 forward who’s been draining rebounds and buckets—might just be hanging up his sneakers and lacing up cleats instead. Imagine trading in the hardwood for the gridiron after nearly a hundred starts on the court. Is this a case of a late-blooming two-sport star, or just a savvy pivot by Dabo Swinney, who’s long been cautious about the transfer portal but eager to snag talent wherever it comes from? Schieffelin’s got a football past, playing QB and tight end in high school, and Swinney believes he’s got the hands and size to be a real problem on the field. It’s not every day you see an athlete willing to swap courts for touchdowns—makes you wonder if more multisport athletes are ready to flip the switch and surprise us all.

Dabo Swinney has been slow to embrace the transfer portal, but he may have instead found a new commit from another Clemson program.
