Clemson Football: 5 best things about Dabo Swinney

3. Trusted recruiter

How about this aspect that is often overlooked now when it comes to Dabo Swinney?

Swinney isn’t just a great ‘salesman’ when it comes to his recruiting. He is able to sale the recruits on a vision, but he is up-front and honest with them. He does an excellent job not only finding talent, but looking past the talent to find character.

Clemson doesn’t just recruit every single 5-star out there. The Tigers look for program fits in every aspect- on-field talent, character and academics- and they heavily recruit based off all of those principles.

Oh, and in the end, Swinney typically finds a way to win way more recruiting battles than he loses.
