CLEMSON, S.C. --

Five Clemson players had surgery following the Tigers spring football game earlier this month. Coach Tommy Bowden says all will be ready for the start of fall practice in August.

Freshman linebacker Brandon Maye, junior receiver Tyler Grisham and junior tight end Akeem Robinson had knee operations. Freshman offensive tackle Chris Hairston had a shoulder operation. Freshman fullback/tight end Chad Diehl had ankle surgery.

Bowden said the players were able to work through their problems to participate in spring practice. Drills wrapped up on April 12 with the annual Orange-and-White game.

Clemson finished 9-4 a season ago. The team is expected to be among the favorites in the Atlantic Coast Conference this fall.
