Dillon Hunter Returns for Fifth Season | College Basketball News

Dillon Hunter, Clemson’s veteran point guard, is returning for a fifth season — a major boost for the Tigers as they prepare for 2026-27. After being excluded from the NCAA’s new five-year eligibility rule, Hunter and nearly 30 fellow athletes sued, and a Georgia judge granted them an injunction allowing them to play under the new rules. Last season, Hunter averaged 7.5 points and 3.4 assists in 35 starts, bringing crucial experience back when key guards Ace Buckner and Zac Foster are sidelined. With his brother Chase once a Tiger and now a seasoned leader on the court, Hunter’s return gives coach Brad Brownell a vital spark as he builds for the future.
