Feaster, Lawrence headline Tigers on weigh-in day

Clemson’s next step will be football practice.

The Tigers closed what head coach Dabo Swinney calls the “Transformation Phase” with their annual weigh-in day on Thursday. Clemson, who was announced as the preseason No. 2 team earlier in the day in the Amway USA TODAY Preseason Coaches Top 25 Poll, will begin fall practice Friday afternoon.

The weights reported were via Clemson Tigers.com.

Kelly Bryant paced the way for the quarterbacks. The Tigers’ senior starter weighed in at 225 pounds, five pounds up from the spring. Backup Trevor Lawrence came in at 216 pounds, an 11-pound increase following spring practice. Chase Brice also came in at 216, up six pounds.

At running back, Tavien Feaster dropped 10 pounds since the spring, reporting at 210 pounds. The coaches wanted him to drop some weight so he couple be more explosive.
