Sucks to see, but at least the football team is now under the total of allowed scholarships.

Whycare about adhering to this limit? Other teams don’t

And the NCAA clearly has no teeth to punish anyone for anything now. For some reason, Clemson self regulates while there’s are on a jail break!

Will Taylor is more of an impact player on the Baseball team.
Personally I want to see him do well, and will miss him on the football team.
True that, about Clemson playing by the rules, since probation in the 70’s and 80’s.
Plus our players graduate!
Rules are not for UNC or UGA, or Brandon.
Go Tigers!

Concur 100% with his decision. His potential to have an overall positive team impact is much greater with baseball, IMHO. Football is just too risky from an injury standpoint. Looking forward to him being 100% healthy and focused for the 2024 baseball season.

Especially after his first football injury - I was surprised he returned to the gridiron.

I was thinking the same thing

about scholarships. We're now right at the number allowed.
Second thing I thought was:
Was going to be tough for him to see the field much this year and be a big contributor as he never quite developed at the slot like most thought he would (no thanks in part to injury).
I see Antonio Williams having a breakout season and Brannon Spector, Troy Stellato, Cole Turner all getting reps before Will this fall.

Good luck going forward, absolutely, and I’m sure it’s the right decision. Can’t help being disappointed though, because I saw his potential, and I also ponder if the emergence of Cole Turner was a factor. Seems like they would both be similar weapons in the WR corp. I could be totally wrong about that though.

I am not sure Will has the talent to be either an MLB or a NFL guy but because he has a very limited sample size in football, this seems like the best decision. There is no doubt Will has been a big part of the baseball team and that should increase next spring.

Yeah Valley you’re probably right considering an MLB GM has already thrown over a million dollars at him. I’m sure their assessment doesn’t hold nearly the weight that yours does.

Don't worry about the 85 limit. A few more will be leaving when they realize they are buried on the depth chart.

I appreciate him trying both and he did look really good on the FB field before he got hurt, but this is probably the best decision for his future. Best of luck in baseball to him and hope he can help get us to Omaha.

Wise Will. Very wise. If you hadn’t dealt with injuries I fully believe you would have been a very good WR but sometimes players a prone to injury. Your skill is much more needed in Baseball rather than football.

Good decision. Football just kills the body. Baseball not nearly as punishing. Plus, it looks like he's a better baseball player. Hope Will kills it next season.

Probably a smart decision for the fact that he can concentrate solely on baseball. We will miss seeing you on the gridiron but look forward to seeing you trear it up on the diamond. Good luck next spring!
