CONWAY -- Less than a month after he was dismissed by Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, offensive lineman Kenneth Page will transfer to Coastal Carolina, recruiting analyst Phil Kornblut reported Friday.

The 6-foot-5, 300-pound guard played just five snaps this season before Swinney kicked him off the team for a violation of team rules. The Columbia native has three seasons of eligibility remaining. He was a guard at Clemson but may have enough athleticism to play tackle for the Chants.
