Dabo Swinney updates Sheridan Jones’s status
Sheridan Jones was a late scratch on Saturday against Wake Forest, and the only immediate information was that he was feeling ill. Head coach Dabo Swinney stated after the game:
"“He just started having some headaches and was feeling kind of sick and nauseous on the bus ride over. His head was hurting and he couldn’t even hardly look into the sun. So, they took him to evaluate him and run some tests on him. That’s really all I know right now.”"
Swinney explained more about Jones’s situation on Monday evening.
"“We’re still waiting on some bloodwork and tests and stuff, but he was better today with the symptoms that he was dealing with.”"
Hopefully Jones was experiencing something temporary and can return to the field soon.

NIL rules continue to evolve
Ross Dellinger of Yahoo Sports posted an explanation on X of some of the changes to NCAA policy regarding NIL.
NCAA's NIL guidelines are slowly evolving to permit more school involvement, which many feel provides protection for athletes.

Biggest potential change: Schools could soon be permitted to communicate & secure NIL deals with third parties. Still, no direct NIL pay from schools. https://t.co/YyTJ8mWW5R
Rubbing The Rock will have more opinion and perspective on the evolving NIL marketplace this week.
Clemson Football punter Aidan Swanson has been named the P.A.T. Man Of The Month.
Exemplary citizen, scholar and athlete.
