A former Clemson defender announced his transfer destination late Friday night.
TJ Dudley revealed via social media that he is headed to play for Ole Miss and head coach Lane Kiffin.
Dudley, a redshirt freshman linebacker, entered the NCAA transfer portal after Clemson made the decision to dismiss him last week due to a violation of team rules.
“It’s a disappointing situation because he’s a good kid and a man. He had a chance to be a great player for us this year,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said at the 2023 ACC Football Kickoff. “So, that definitely hurts us. But it’s unfortunate. You’ve got rules, and sometimes it’s just best to get a fresh start. So, wish him well.”
Dudley recorded two tackles in 16 defensive snaps over four games while redshirting in 2022. The 6-foot-1, 230-pounder made his Clemson debut on special teams vs. Furman and made one tackle vs. North Carolina and in the Orange Bowl vs. Tennessee.
A three-time all-state selection at Montgomery (Ala.) Catholic Preparatory School, Dudley was credited with 381 tackles (59 for loss), 10.5 sacks, seven interceptions, seven pass breakups and seven touchdowns in his prep career.
Dudley enrolled at Clemson as a four-star prospect in the summer of 2022. He was the No. 22 linebacker nationally and the No. 227 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite.
