A member of the Clemson football program took to social media on Tuesday and called out the use of the NCAA transfer portal.

Tigers defensive analyst Deandre McDaniel, a two-time All-American for Dabo Swinney back in his playing days at Clemson, expressed his frustration with the transfer portal in a post on Twitter.

McDaniel called the portal “embarrassing,” likening it to NFL free agency, and believes it “will kill more careers than help.”

This TRANSFER PORTAL will Kill more Careers than Help! It’s embarrassing. Kids are leaving as freshmen and sophomores… It’s 2100+ kids in the portal hoping to sign when HS Seniors are honestly the priority. LETS EDUCATE THESE YOUNG MEN!! It’s becoming NFL Free Agency.
