One of Clemson’s most popular basketball players is switching sports. Former Tigers forward Ian Schieffelin plans to join coach Dabo Swinney’s football team and play as a tight end this season, according to various local reports.

Ian Schieffelin played four seasons with Clemson basketball. He will trade in his sneakers for cleats to play for Clemson football and Dabo Swinney in 2025.

Ian Schieffelin has made it official: he's now a member of the Clemson football team. Schieffelin took to social media Friday to share a photoshopped image of himself in a half-basketball, half-football jersey with Clemson Memorial Stadium in the backdrop. The words "NEXT CHAPTER" appeared in capital letters across the image.
