Clemson offensive line coach Robbie Caldwell has a tall task in the spring as he begins the process of replacing four veteran starters and a key reserve on the line.
Gone are starting center Sean Pollard, right guard Gage Cervenka, left guard John Simpson, and right tackle Tremayne Anchrum and reserve Chandler Reeves. That quintet combined for 3,265 snaps last season.
Starting left tackle Jackson Carman is back, along with Matt Bockhorst, who almost played starter’s snaps with 421. They are joined by Blake Vinson (34 snaps before knee surgery), Will Putnam, Cade Stewart, and Jordan McFadden to form the nucleus of next year’s offensive line.
