Clemson wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who leads the Tigers with 43 catches for 532 yards and four touchdowns, will join the basketball team following the Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 31. Head Coach Brad Brownell and football coach Dabo Swinney have had ongoing discussions about Hopkins joining the team and on Monday the Tigers' first-year basketball coach spoke with Hopkins about the situation. Clemson has just four scholarship guards on its roster.
"I have heard great things about DeAndre's ability as a basketball player, but I've never seen him play," Brownell said. "I talked to DeAndre last night, and there is mutual interest in having him join the team after the bowl game. Certainly, he has shown a great competitive spirit to be able to succeed the way he has on the football field as a freshman. We have a very thin backcourt and he thinks he can help us."
