Catcher Jonathan French Makes It Official
Clemson Catcher Jonathan French is transferring to South Carolina.
This was not a surprise to our readers but Jonathan French now becomes the second former Clemson Tiger to transfer to Carolina this offseason. Outfielder Dylan Brewer being the other.
The Lilburn, Georgia native was ranked as high as the #56 player in the country out of high school in the 2019 recruiting class. In 2021 with the Tigers, French started 25 games at the catcher position. He hit .248 with five home runs and 21 RBIs. In 2022, he hit .217 with eight home runs and 22 RBIs in 37 starts. From a defensive standpoint, French is not much of a drop off from Burgess. French has two seasons of eligibility remaining. He should be in the mix for the starting catcher position.
French is Mark Kingston's fourth transfer portal pickup since the end of the season.
