Good afternoon! This is today’s Clemson Tigers News.

Students have been taking exams this week, so there haven’t been many events occurring besides Clemson Football returning for bowl practices. Even Cade Klubnik had to miss practice because of an exam.

There is still news happening, however.

Clemson Men’s Soccer players are recognized for excellent play in the College Cup

Clemson Men’s Soccer star Ousmane Sylla has been named the Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the 2023 NCAA College Cup.

Sylla scored the winning goal in Monday’s National Championship game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He is also a Mac Hermann Award Finalist.

His defensive teammate, Papa Mar Boye was deservingly named as the Most Outstanding Defensive Player of the tournament.

Four players were named to the All-Tournament team.

Joseph Andema, who was rock solid in this postseason for the Tigers.

Shawn Smart, who had that blistering strike against West Virginia.

Alex Meinhard, who has been the straw that stirs the drink for much of this season.

Brandon Parrish, who got the scoring started against Notre Dame.

And the moment we’ve been waiting for: Thank you to the graphics department for letting us see the new logo spring to life!

Absolutely beautiful.
