CLEMSON — Clemson football was one of four FBS schools in 2024 that did not add any transfer portal players.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was criticized for his portal approach entering the season with it reaching its peak after the Tigers lost to Georgia in Week 1. Swinney has quieted doubters since as No. 9 Clemson (6-1, 5-0 ACC) enters its second regular-season open date on a six-game win streak and on track to make the College Football Playoff.
The Tigers lost 12 players during the winter and spring cycles, including starting safety Andrew Mukuba and wide receiver Beaux Collins. As Clemson rests on its open date, here’s how these former Clemson players are doing with their new teams:
Andrew Mukuba, DB, Texas
Mukuba started 10 games for Clemson last season but finished with a career-low 42 tackles over 578 snaps. He entered the portal on Dec. 5 and committed to Texas on Dec 18.
Mukuba is a starting safety for the Longhorns, recording 25 tackles, two interceptions and two pass breakups over five games. His two takeaways came in games against Michigan and Georgia, but he suffered a knee injury against the Bulldogs
Beaux Collins, WR, Notre Dame
Collins transferred to Notre Dame after having the second-most receiving yards (510) and third-most receptions (38) and receiving touchdowns (3) for Clemson during the 2023 season.
Collins leads the Irish in receptions (26) and receiving yards (317) through seven games.
Toriano Pride Jr., CB, Missouri
Pride transferred to his home state to play for Missouri. He appeared in 26 games at Clemson with three starts across two seasons, totaling 36 tackles, a sack and an interception.
Pride has played in four games for Missouri this season, logging seven tackles and a returning an interception for a touchdown.
