Clemson finally added an offensive piece from the transfer portal Sunday, landing SMU running back Chris Johnson Jr. after a weekend visit to campus.

Johnson becomes the Tigers’ first offensive transfer commitment of the cycle and their 10th portal addition overall, giving head coach Dabo Swinney a much-needed injection of speed at a skill position.
