The Bruise Brothers: Spector ready to make one last run at a title

CLEMSON – Baylon Spector knows he has one final run to make, a final season with James Skalski, a few final home games and hopefully another run to the College Football Playoff. And he wants to make the most of it.

Spector enters 2021 credited with 125 career tackles (17.5 for loss), 6.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and two pass breakups in 863 snaps over 42 games (11 starts). Spector is one-half of a linebacker tandem with James Skalski that Dabo Swinney calls “The Bruise Brothers.”

Both Spector and Skalski are finalists for the Butkus Award – given annually to the nation’s top linebacker – and Spector said he is excited to have one more season alongside Skalski.
