Playing linebacker at the collegiate level is far different than playing the same position in high school. According to Clemson veteran Baylon Spector, it’s like speaking a different language.
Spector enters 2020 credited with 53 tackles (7.0 for loss), 2.0 sacks, two fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and a pass breakup in 346 career snaps over 30 games. Spector is expected to make a bigger contribution this season, building off of his two sacks against Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Spector has played just two seasons after redshirting in 2017 and has two seasons to play, but could make it three if he takes advantage of a new NCAA rule that allows players to play this season without losing eligibility.
