Former Clemson wide receiver returns to the Birmingham Stallions
Former Clemson star wide receiver Deon Cain is heading back to the USFL, where he was one of the stars of the league.
Cain is making his USFL return to his former team before he headed back to the NFL, the Birmingham Stallions. The Stallions are far and away the top dog in the USFL, winning the last three championships. While Cain was present for their most recent win, he was a top performer in the 2024 UFL Championship and the 2023 USFL Championship. In 2023, Cain was the USFL Championship game MVP with three touchdown. In his last stint with the Stallions, Cain recorded 726 all-purpose yards, with 33 receptions, 436 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.

A 2018 sixth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts, he last played in an NFL regular-season game in 2020 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cain spent time with the Bills, Ravens, Eagles, Panthers, and Steelers, appearing in 15 career games with nine receptions for 124 yards. In college, he was a key downfield threat for Clemson from 2015-17, totaling 130 catches for 2,040 yards and 20 touchdowns. After briefly returning to the Bills in 2023, he now joins the Birmingham Stallions, where he reunites with former Clemson players Mario Goodrich, Joseph Ngata, and Amari Rodgers.

Clemson vs. South Carolina 2025 game time announced, reactions to the early time slot The kickoff time is set for Clemson's regular-season finale against rival South Carolina. The Tigers and Gamecocks will meet at noon on Friday, Nov. 29 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, with the game airing on either ABC or ESPN. It's the third time in the past four years the Palmetto Bowl will be played at noon. Clemson will look to bounce back from last year's 17-14 loss at home, a game that ended the Tigers' seven-game win streak in the rivalry. Dabo Swinney's team will also aim to continue its road dominance in Columbia, where Clemson has won five straight dating back to 2015. With a win, the Tigers would secure six straight victories at South Carolina for the first time since a stretch from 1989 to 1999. The Gamecocks haven't beaten Clemson at home since 2013, and the Tigers will be eager to keep it that way this fall. Along with the announcement of the game time came reactions.
