New Clemson OC Garrett Riley arrives in Upstate

New Clemson offensive coordinator Garrett Riley has arrived in the Upstate.

Riley arrived at the Pickens Country airport Thursday night at about 8:55 p.m. He was joined on the flight by his family, as well as Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney. The plane took off in Fort Worth, Texas, before landing in the Upstate.

Riley was previously the offensive coordinator at TCU. He helped the Horned Frogs reach the national title game this season, before they were blown out by Georgia on Monday.

Riley was named the Broyles Award Winner for the 2022 season. The honor is presented each year to the top assistant coach in college football.

He is set to officially be approved by the Clemson Board of Trustees Friday afternoon. Riley replaces Brandon Streeter, who was fired earlier Thursday.
