Clemson, SC — In a surprising move that has sent ripples through the college football world, Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney has officially announced the addition of veteran linebacker Luke Larsen to the Tigers’ roster. The senior linebacker, who hails from Keilor Park, Victoria, Australia, joins Clemson after a successful career at East Carolina University (ECU).
Larsen, standing at 6’2″ and weighing 235 pounds, has been a standout player for the ECU Pirates and brings a wealth of experience to Clemson’s defense. Known for his leadership on the field and his ability to read plays with precision, Larsen is expected to immediately contribute to the Tigers’ defensive unit.
“Luke is a player we’ve had our eye on for some time. His experience, toughness, and football IQ are exactly what we need to supplement our roster,” Swinney said in a statement. “We’re excited to have him join the Clemson family, and we believe he’ll make an immediate impact as we head into the final stretch of the season.”
Larsen, who started every game for ECU last season, registered impressive statistics, including 85 total tackles and 4 sacks. His versatility and strong work ethic made him a leader on the Pirates’ defense, and his arrival in Clemson is expected to bolster the Tigers’ linebacker corps.
The move comes as Clemson seeks to reinforce its roster amid a highly competitive season in the ACC, where the Tigers remain in contention for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Larsen’s experience and physicality could provide the defensive boost the team needs heading into crucial matchups.
Clemson fans are already buzzing with excitement over the addition of the Australian-born linebacker, who will don the Tigers’ orange and purple in the coming weeks. As of now, Larsen is expected to take part in Clemson’s upcoming practice sessions, with hopes of making his debut in the next game.
