Carter ready to step up, lead young secondary

While most of the questions about the Clemson Tigers are about the offense, there are still a couple of areas on defense that are not completely solved yet, especially in the secondary.

With the departures of Jadar Johnson and Cordrea Tankersly, the Tigers lose two senior leaders that were very vocal and keys to Clemson’s success in its championship season last year.

Luckily for the Tigers, the have a jack-of-all trades in the secondary that can give the unit a major boost.

Ryan Carter played just about every position in the secondary last year. The senior could be seen sitting back deep in the safety position, in man-to-man coverage at corner or even in the backfield trying to get a sack as the nickel back.
