Clemson Baseball Suffers Major Blow as Key Pitcher Sidelined for Season with Injury
A projected weekend starter for Clemson baseball will miss the season after suffering a serious arm injury that requires surgery. Clemson’s pitching staff has taken a significant hit as freshman right-hander Dane Moehler announced he will miss the season due to injury. Moehler revealed that he suffered a torn UCL during his final intrasquad scrimmage before the season began and will undergo surgery to repair it. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about his recovery and plans to return next year. In a message shared on social media, Moehler wrote, “After suffering a torn UCL in my last outing, I’ve decided to undergo surgery next week to be back on the mound next season. Go Tigers!” After suffering a torn ucl in my last outing I’ve decided to undergo surgery next week to be back on the mound next season.
Originally expected to play a key role in Clemson’s weekend rotation, Moehler’s absence leaves a notable gap in the Tigers’ pitching staff. Now, the focus shifts to his recovery as he works toward a comeback in 2026.

Trevor Lawrence Reunion on the Table as Jaguars Eye Former Clemson Star Tee Higgins
A potential blockbuster move could reunite former Clemson stars in the NFL, as trade speculation swirls around Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.

The trio led the Tigers to a national championship in 2018 and dominated college football during their time together. Now, Jacksonville could be looking to recapture that magic in the NFL. Higgins has proven himself as a top-tier receiver, posting consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in 2021 and 2022. This past season, he hauled in 73 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns in just 12 games, solidifying his status as one of the league’s best young wideouts. Adding him to Jacksonville’s offense would give Lawrence a much-needed weapon as
the franchise looks to rebound from a disappointing 2024 campaign. The Jaguars finished 4-13 last season, and finding playmakers to support Lawrence is a priority. Higgins’ big-play ability and chemistry with his former quarterback could be the spark Jacksonville needs. Whether the Bengals are willing to part ways with Higgins remains uncertain, but with Cincinnati needing to manage cap space and prioritize other roster needs, a trade is far from impossible.
