Clemson junior Christian Wilkins has proven he is comfortable playing different positions on the defensive front. Now the All-American is looking to play a different role for the Tigers.
Clemson returns plenty of talent from its 2016 defense that helped the Tigers win a national title. In spite of the returning players, the Clemson defense will be without several leaders from the unit that was one of the best in the country.
Wilkins is taking it upon himself to fill the void left by the heart-and-soul of last year’s defense, Ben Boulware, as well as seniors Carlos Watkins, Cordrea Tankersley and Jadar Johnson.
