Clemson quarterback enters transfer portal

Clemson quarterback Taisun Phommachanh is in the transfer portal, Clemson Sports learned on Friday.

The redshirt sophomore from Connecticut appeared in six games this season while serving as the backup to DJ Uiagalelei.

At one point Phommachanh was in a quarterback competition with Uiagalelei after the California native struggled at Pitt. However, Uiagalelei ended up starting all 12 games this season.

Phommachanh missed the final two games of the season after being injured in the first half against UConn.

He finished the 2021 season 11 of 19 passing for 131 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Phommachanh also rushed for 69 yards and a score.

With Phommachanh gone, Clemson only has one true scholarship quarterback remaining on its roster in Uiagalelei.

Other quarterbacks remaining are walk-on Hunter Helms, who is expected to go on scholarship this offseason, walk-on Billy Wiles and Will Taylor, who was signed as a QB with the plan to move him to receiver.

The Tigers are bringing in five-star quarterback Cade Klubnik in the class of 2021.
