Losing Khalil Barnes right before the Pinstripe Bowl is a gut punch for Clemson fans. Barnes, a hard-hitting safety and former Freshman All-American, just announced he’s entering the transfer portal. His playmaking—139 tackles, 7 picks, and a knack for forcing turnovers—made him a fan favorite and a key part of the Tigers’ defense. With Barnes likely skipping the bowl game, Clemson faces Penn State without one of its most reliable defenders. What does this mean for the Tigers’ future, and how do you feel about star players leaving before bowl season? #Sports #Football #Clemson
