Former Clemson QB Announces Transfer Destination

A former Clemson quarterback has found his newest college home.

After re-entering the NCAA transfer portal earlier this month, Billy Wiles revealed his transfer destination on Thursday.

Wiles, a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility left, announced that he is headed to Appalachian State.

Wiles spent the first two years of his college career (2021-22) at Clemson before transferring to Southern Miss for the 2023 campaign.

The 6-foot-3, 222-pounder played in 11 games for the Golden Eagles, completing 54 percent of his passes for 1,934 yards and 11 touchdowns with seven interceptions, while rushing for 17 yards and another touchdown on 58 attempts.

A native of Ashburn, Va., Wiles originally joined Clemson as a walk-on in 2021 before being placed on scholarship for 2022. He went 2-for-4 for 31 yards against UConn, including a 25-yard touchdown pass, in his lone appearance of the 2021 season before not seeing any game action in 2022.

Wiles chose to walk-on at Clemson despite scholarship offers from Tulane, Old Dominion, Harvard and Bucknell. He led Stone Bridge High School (Ashburn, Va.) to a state title in the spring of 2021 before enrolling at Clemson.
