Lol....true. Lebron i guess wouldn't be a booster because he never attended school there. However, it's all semantics and pretty ridiculous.

Kyler Murray, and others. So I am guessing he could still play football if he so chooses since he isn't under a contract in that sport!

He cannot play for Clemson Soccer, but could still technically play for Football I think. Although since he is a soccer player first and foremost, I kind of doubt he does.

Correct. Kyle Parker did this in baseball while still playing football at Clemson. However, in this case I think seasons and academic years might overlap so I don’t think it’s feasible.

Feb 28, 2020, 10:54 AM

You are correct. The MLS regular season begins this weekend (Feb 29) and doesn't end until the the first weekend in October (and you though the NBA and MLB seasons were long!). Further, unless he enrolled and could take a bunch of online classes through Clemson in the fall, he wouldn't qualify to play even a half season. Then, where would he get the hours to qualify for a second season?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

This is correct. The article said he could still play


Feb 28, 2020, 11:19 AM [ in reply to Re: TNET: Clemson kicker signee inks professional contract ]

football but of course not soccer. Too bad for the soccer team.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

you can absolutely sign a pro contract


Feb 27, 2020, 1:03 PM [ in reply to Re: TNET: Clemson kicker signee inks professional contract ]

In one sport and play college in another. Totally ok w the NCAA. Issue is whether the pro team allows via their contract. He would need to be enrolled in the Fall and have to be able to practice. This may not work with soccer but he may not be active or on a lower team that has a shorter season. However also with soccers anything else - you won’t get elevated without playing.

I’d say doubtful he plays for Clemson football.

He is not considered to be a pro FB player, he is now a pro soccer player. Saying that he can't play college FB bc he is a pro soccer player, is no different than saying he can't play college FB bc he rode bulls in the pro rodeo circuit. Just saying!!!!

I am with you on that one. IMHO you can sign a pro contract in one sport and still play NCAA in another.

However, in Europe, soccer is called futball so does that eliminate him? LOL

The article should address his eligibility to still play football and his intentions on whether or not he plans to. Or, at least state that there will be a follow-up, more to come, awaiting word from Tanner/coaching staff, etc.

This should be about Clemson Athletics but the Clemson Athletics side of the story is not addressed, at all.

He signed a pro contract in soccer and that is believed to be his priority. Should it not work out in the near future, it's reasonable to believe that Swinney would welcome him back to football. Obviously he won't be able to play college soccer now.

He will not be on the Clemson football team.

At least that's how I see it.

Well, among all the talent coming in this year I was interested in seeing what this young guy can do. Heard about his demonstrations both right and left footed. Could make for some interesting options. Best of luck to him though. Go Tigers!

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Welp, I am happy


Feb 27, 2020, 1:18 PM

for the young man, but I don't understand if this means he will still enroll and play fb but not soccer or if he will just play pro soccer.

Any Juan know?

Can you imagine if this kid has a successful MLS career about 10 or 12 years and then decides he wants to honor his NLI and come play football for the Tigers?

We would get a ton of publicity and you would have to think a very mentally strong athlete if we re-signed a 30 year old kicker from MLS to come to our team.

I hope he has a very successful career moving forward.

Kid is crazy. NFL kickers make 3-5 million on their second contract and have 18-21 years careers for less work. You don't make as much for MLS...

Realistically, he could play in MLS and go to the NFL in 3 years.
