Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney's son Clay is in his third season with the team. The WR joined the Tigers as a walk-on in 2022 and has since been a part of the team. As Clemson continues its 2024 campaign, Clay Swinney took to social media to give his girlfriend Reese Reynolds a big shoutout.
In an Instagram story posted by Clay, we see him posing with his girlfriend Resse Reynolds. The couple is seen embracing each other as Clay expresses his gratitude to her for always being his pillar of support.
"The best", Clay Swinney wrote along with a purple heart emoji.
Clay and his girlfriend have been dating for quite some time now. The couple had also gone on a vacation in the off-season to Florida where they spent some quality time with each other.
As a freshman, Clay did not get a lot of playing time on the field. However, last season, he was given the starting holder role by Dabo Swinney coming out of fall camp. The WR played in all 13 games for the Clemson Tigers and played 11 offensive snaps.
This season, Clay returned as a starting holder role on placekicks for the Tigers. They went on to lose their season opener against the Georgia Bulldogs. However, during their Week 2 contest against Appalachian State, the Clemson Tigers recorded a 66-20 victory.
