Pagano was at his most effective for the Tigers during the 2015 season, as the 295-pound defensive lineman had 51 total tackles in nine starts and 15 total games. Pagano's playing time dwindled a bit during Clemson's 2016 title campaign, but he still recorded 31 total tackles in 12 games.
Pagano's a powerhouse. Started 13 games the past 2 YRs at #Clemson. He will help someone else right away. https://t.co/xWkPd8NsmT

The news of Pagano's transfer comes after defensive back Adrian Baker announced that he was transferring away from Clemson last week.
247Sports reports that Pagano graduated with a degree in sociology in December, and that he will be eligible as a graduate transfer for the 2017 season. Pagano — a former four-star recruit of the 2013 class — originally picked Clemson over schools like Alabama, LSU, and Florida.
