Clemson freshman RB Demont Buice, one of the more questionable takes from Alabama, has decided to leave the football team and transfer away today.

"We hate to see Demont leave our program," said Swinney. "We were pleased with his progress, but he wants more immediate playing time so he will transfer at the end of the semester. We have granted him a release and wish him the best."

After a good spring game performance there was hope he could be a short yardage back in this system, but in truth he is not well-suited to it and is just too slow to be an every down back in the offense. His lack of PT led him to contemplate transferring since August, and this opens up a scholarship spot for another recruit.
